The natural ventilation of a residential area has placed increasing emphasis on site planning, in order to find the relationship between natural ventilation and an effective site layout. This can reduce the energy consumption and the adverse effects of outdoor winds, improve the living environment and quality of life, as well as create harmony between humans and nature. In this paper, Air-Pak is used to simulate the wind environment of a residential area. Through analysing and simulating the airfield that forms when the wind blows around the residential buildings with Air-Pak, we explain the advantage of combining computer simulation software and residential area planning. Additionally, some advice is given regarding the layout of site design early in the planning phase using the simulation of buildings in the outdoor environment. An old historic city that needs reform, must aim to keep the history, address low-income resident living environments, and take into account the studio workshops. New buildings attract investment and development.

Abstract


The natural ventilation of a residential area has placed increasing emphasis on site planning, in order to find the relationship between natural ventilation and an effective site layout. This can reduce the energy consumption and the adverse effects of outdoor winds, improve the living environment and quality of life, as well as create harmony between humans and nature. In this paper, Air-Pak is used to simulate the wind environment of a residential area. Through analysing and simulating the airfield that forms when the wind blows around the residential buildings with Air-Pak, we explain the advantage of combining computer simulation software and residential area planning. Additionally, some advice is given regarding the layout of site design early in the planning phase using the simulation of buildings in the outdoor environment. An old historic city that needs reform, must aim to keep the history, address low-income resident living environments, and take into account the studio workshops. New buildings attract investment and development.
