The authors show how the shape and surroundings of buildings and their situation in relation to prevailing winds affect the pressure distribution in a building. Variations in positive and negative pressure zones in relation to wind speed and direction in discussed and the so-called "stack effect". Model tests carried out in wind tunnels on both high and low buildings are reported.
Some observations concerning the wind particularly in connection with the ventilation of dwellings. Enige opmerkingen over wind in het bijzonder in verband met deventilatie van gebouwen.
