The occupant response to wind-induced tall building motion in New Zealand

![CDATA[1014 central business district workers in Wellington New Zealand were surveyed about wind-induced building motion. 41.7% reported wind-induced building motion. The most reported effect of building motion was difficulty concentrating (42%), suggesting early onset motion sickness.
