Wind tunnel investigation of an office building.

Tests a large office building, consisting of several octagonal towers and other blocks in a boundary layer wind tunnel. Determines the highest suction pressures which are relevant for the fixing of the cladding. Uses a tracer gas method to determine recirculation problems of the ventilation system inlets and outlets resulting from the arrangement of octagonal towers of different heights. Wind velocities on the flat roof of some towers are studied by meansof an erosion technique using flour, checks the accuracy of the method using hot wire measurements.
