Directional wind-chill data for planning sheltered microclimates around buildings
AbstractThe concept of a wind-chill index has found considerable application in terms of human comfort outdoors and various calculation methods have been proposed. The possible use of wind-chill and analogous indices in building design, landscape work and settlement planning is discussed.Planners and building designers need to consider directionality when deciding how to control wind effects around buildings. Ways of presenting directional information about the frequencies of various combinations of wind and temperature such as “wind-chill roses” are illustrated.Directional wind-chill data can help in determining the built form and orientation of buildings, either individually or in groups, as well as in planning wind protection for them using windbreaks and shelterbelts. Ways of assessing the benefits of using wind protection of different densities, spacings and heights (in terms of reduced wind-chill) are described.
