Abstract

Low-frequency building vibration as a result of wind-excitation is a concern for building designers, owners and occupants. There are no university accepted occupant serviceability criteria for occupant comfort and the effects of low-frequency vibration on task performance and productivity are largely unknown. With the exception of a few recent studies, there is a paucity of research to address these concerns. This paper provides an overview of research using a new theory of motion sickness to longitudinally examine occupant comfort and productivity in an instrumented wind-excited tall building in Wellington, NZ.
