LoginThis study investigates the impacts of the three different types of carpark namely open (on surface), multistory and integrated carpark. The 1:200 scaled models were used in wind tunnel to gather pressure distribution data on the exterior surface of surrounding housing blocks. The data were collected from testing the various wind directions on different types of carpark. Using pressure coefficient (Cp) values, the ventilation performances represented by air change rate (ACH) in the selected units were calculated using CONTAM. The study identified some impacts and potential problems of three different types of carpark to the housing ventilation performance. The ventilation performances were also compared for units on the different height. Undoubtedly, these finding would be very useful in design process to create better performance of naturally ventilated public housing.
The impacts of multi story car park on the ventilation performance of high rise housing in Singapore.
