Comparison of pedestrian wind acceptability criteria
AbstractSeveral pedestrian wind comfort criteria have been suggested to help city planners and architects evaluate the safety and comfort of locations around planned developments. The criteria are based on the percent time certain wind speeds are exceeded annually but differ in implementation. To describe the relative behavior of the criteria, wind tunnel measurements of pedestrian wind speeds for nine building projects have been evaluated against five criteria: Melbourne (1978), Hunt, et.al. (1976), Penwarden and Wise (1975), Lawson and Penwarden (1975), and Isyumov and Davenport (1975). Measurements were made for 246 locations and were compared to the criteria. Differences among the criteria are evident, with that of Melbourne (1978) being more restrictive than those of Lawson and Penwarden (1975) and of Isyumov and Davenport (1975). Elevated turbulence intensities found near high-rise structures and the differing usage of mean and peak winds partially account for the differences.
