BUILDING OPENING MODIFICATIONS AFFECTING WIND SPEED AT PEDESTRIAN LEVEL
High land costs and shortage of accessible urban areas are some of the leading causes for the construction of highly dense high-rise structures. As a result, undesired low wind speeds that are generated due to excessive shielding contribute to heat stress issue. Recent studies have investigated the...

High land costs and shortage of accessible urban areas are some of the leading causes for the construction of highly dense high-rise structures.
