WIND PRESSURE COEFFICIENT AND WIND VELOCITY ALONG BUILDING WALL OF APARTMENT BUILDING WITH BALCONY

The wind pressure coefficient is the basic driving force of wind-induced natural ventilation. The windvelocity along the building wall is also important for wind environment in balcony (veranda) or windowsand is the moment of inertia for the air flowing into rooms. These two values of the five-storiedapartment building with/without veranda were measured by wind tunnel test using scaled model. Theexperimental conditions are the faade type, the shape of veranda and wind direction.
