The development in construction technology for highrise buildings, along with increasing societal demand, have created a recent trend of tall structures. While structural stability of buildings can generally be ensured through design capable of withstanding wind loads, occupant comfort is often compromised wind induced vibration. In particular, occupant comfort is more significantly affected by across-wind vibrations than along-wind vibrations, necessitating wind tunnel testing to accurately assess these effects. Furthermore, in urban environments dominated by asymmetrical building designs, predicting wind pressures on building exteriors becomes increasingly challenging. Pedestrian wind environments are also greatly influenced by the presence and geometry of surrounding structures.

Pedestrian Level Wind Environment Test
As high-rise buildings are constructed, the airflow patterns around the construction site can exhibit unexpected behaviors with varying wind speeds. Therefore, pedestrian wind environment tests are conducted to evaluate the comfort and safety of pedestrian spaces near the building.
