Wind Analysis
Based on the Wind Analysis, it
was recommended to provide
Openings Openings through and through openings for
Refuge Floors. This enhanced the
wind flow between the wings of
the Proposed Building. The
ven la on rates also increased
because of the wind movement
in between the wings.
Providing Large Openings / Cut
outs also improve the wind flow
in and around the buildings.
