The authors show how the shape and surroundings of buildings and their situation in relation to prevailing winds affect the pressure distribution in a building. Variations in positive and negative pressure zones in relation to wind speed and direction in discussed and the so-called "stack effect". Model tests carried out in wind tunnels on both high and low buildings are reported.
