Description
This chapter provides basic information for evaluating wind flow patterns, estimating wind pressures, and identifying problems caused by the effects of wind on pedestrians and buildings, including ventilation intakes, exhausts, and equipment. In most cases, detailed solutions are addressed in other chapters. Related information can be found in Chapters 11, 14, 16, and 37 of this volume; in Chapters 31, 32, 45, 47, and 53 of the 2015 ASHRAE Handbook–HVAC Applications; and in Chapters 30, 35, and 40 of the 2016 ASHRAE Handbook–HVAC Systems and Equipment.
