Increasing emphasis has been placed on the concern of buildings’ effects on the wind, making it an essential aspect in considering the surrounding environment. It has a profound influence on aspects such as pedestrian’s comfort, safety, natural ventilation, and reducing building energy consumption. Outdoor wind environment is related to natural and artificial geographical features, and the wind direction, which all play an important role in the user comfort in and around a building. The prediction from the simulation of the wind environment can guide the layout of the buildings to enhance the wind environment effectively. The research looks at a block of land in the new district of Yuexi County. By using the wind environment simulation software Fluent, the research explores the prediction of wind environment for the building, as well as possible methods of analysis, designing process and the influence brought by the large-scale project. It supplies reference to enhance the wind environment of buildings in the designing process for both planners and architects to create a more enjoyable and safe building environment.

Abstract


Increasing emphasis has been placed on the concern of buildings’ effects on the wind, making it an essential aspect in considering the surrounding environment. It has a profound influence on aspects such as pedestrian’s comfort, safety, natural ventilation, and reducing building energy consumption. Outdoor wind environment is related to natural and artificial geographical features, and the wind direction, which all play an important role in the user comfort in and around a building. The prediction from the simulation of the wind environment can guide the layout of the buildings to enhance the wind environment effectively. The research looks at a block of land in the new district of Yuexi County. By using the wind environment simulation software Fluent, the research explores the prediction of wind environment for the building, as well as possible methods of analysis, designing process and the influence brought by the large-scale project. It supplies reference to enhance the wind environment of buildings in the designing process for both planners and architects to create a more enjoyable and safe building environment.
