Abstract

![CDATA[There are few studies that are focused on the pedestrian-level wind environment for different building designs, especially those with a lift-up design. This research work studies three selected building configurations that resulted in the lowest wind speed zones from a systematic study by Tsang et al. (2012). A 3.5 meter-tall open ground floor was added to each of the three configurations, and scale models of the three designs were studied in a wind tunnel to assess their influences on airflow and ventilation around the buildings. Undesirable areas of low wind speed leading to poor air ventilation and at the other extreme, discomfort due to strong wind conditions are both identified in the results.]]
