Benefits
Cost savings / enhanced safety: In an area where high wind speeds are observed regularly, RWDI was able to provide design snow/wind loads that were both cost effective and produced safe conditions.
Reduced material: Wind tunnel testing is beneficial in specifying the required strength of the membrane or curtain wall material. This provides potential savings to the owner by avoiding the over specification of material.
Enhanced comfort: Provided clear understanding of the mechanism of wind flows influencing pedestrian comfort and safety.
