Wind conditions in a high rise housing area. Vindforhallanden i ett hoghusomrade.

Describes a study to map the ground wind conditions in the housing area Kroksback in Malmo, and to study the effect of various proposed measures to improve the wind environment. Studies local ground wind conditions by field measurements using the Swedish Institute for Building Research (SIB) mobile measuring unit and by comparative model tests in the SIB wind tunnel laboratory. Estimates wind speed and direction by means of a simple indicator device. Estimates the effect of wind screens in various positions using wind tunnel studies, and proposes protective measures such as establishing vegetation and re-siting pedestrian paths.
