high rise buildings

Methods of manipulating building envelope wind pressure distributions for application in the natural ventilation of high-rise buildings are presented using computer simulation methods. CFD was used to simulate the external flow while the multi-zone method was used to compute the flow distribution in the building interior. First, a 2-D CFD study was conducted to explore various techniques of manipulating the building envelope wind pressure distribution.

This report presents the findings of a field investigation and assessment into air tightness, air movement and indoor air quality conducted on two ( 2) residential high-rise apartment buildings located in St. John's, Newfoundland.
