| Abstract | Wind comfort plays a central role in improving the safety, livability, and resilience of urban environments. The modification of wind patterns by buildings can cause physical discomfort to pedestrians and danger to vulnerable populations. The height, size, location and shape of buildings and urban features have a significant effect on wind acceleration or mitigation. A study was performed on the potential for small-scale elements of enhancing wind comfort within three pedestrian areas in Tallinn’s Ülemiste district, which suffers from high urban wind discomfort. The investigation combined parametric design and CFD simulations to test a variety of wind shelter types and sizes and urban layout design to incorporate them into open spaces. A Lawson wind comfort criterion was used to evaluate wind discomfort in the actual situation and the possibility of improving comfort with the shelters. Based on initial results, the area in the state of comfort improved from 40% to 83%. The methods and results are presented in detail in the paper. © 2022, Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe. All rights reserved. |
