Wind engineering study
What it is
We map wind speed and gusts at pedestrian level (1.5 m) around the building, rating comfort and safety on sidewalks, entrances, plazas and terraces. Used for urban developments, podiums and public-use spaces.
When you need it
When your project adds or reshapes buildings around public space - towers, podiums, plazas, entrances or elevated terraces - and you need to show that wind at street level stays comfortable and safe.
What we deliver
How we do it
Model the development and its surroundings, including neighbouring buildings and ground level.
Run LES simulations for the wind directions and speeds from the local wind climate.
Map wind speed at pedestrian level and rate each area against comfort and safety criteria.
Flag critical zones and recommend architectural or landscaping mitigation.
Real project
250 m tower
Pedestrian-level wind assessed around a 250 m tower, mapping comfort and safety across the surrounding streets and public spaces so problem areas could be addressed in design rather than after construction.

Why you can trust our results
We are not a physical wind tunnel - we are a CFD specialist whose results are validated against wind tunnel measurements. AeroSim is an international reference in computational wind engineering.
