4.6.2 Building Design

Urban designers can apply this modeling–mapping method to evaluate the effect of the new building on the neighboring wind environment. Two scenarios were included in this case study: (a) the scenario without and (b) with new building. Figure 4.12a, b shows the new building, the surrounding street grid, and prevailing wind directions. In scenario a (Fig. 4.12a), the modeling results indicate poor existing wind environment surrounding the site, as depicted by the red area with VR less than 0.2, and better wind environment along Hennessy Road (i.e., the brown area with VR larger than 0.2). In scenario b when we put a new building into the site, the red area with lower VR is enlarged in both windward and leeward directions. The affected areas are highlighted in Fig. 4.12b.
