Wind Studies for Planning & EIA: Background, Types & Interpreting Results | Webinar

40 minute session

Architects, planning consultants, property developers and other stakeholders are increasingly required to submit wind microclimate assessments (wind studies) to planning authorities for tall buildings and exposed sites. This may sometimes form part of an overall Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

However, the required computational or physical testing approach and the appropriate level of study can still be subjective and open to confusion, potentially leading to project delays or additional costs.

Wilde Analysis has specialised in undertaking wind studies throughout the UK for over a decade, including city centre, coastal and regional sites.

Register and join this 40 minute live webinar to learn more about wind studies, covering topics such as:

• Common wind issues and mitigation
• Lawson criteria for comfort & safety
• Levels of study available, depending on conditions and RIBA stage
• Comparison of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) & wind tunnel tests
• Considerations when assessing results
