Wind Speed

The Wind Speed simulation considers a point in time approach, taking as input a wind direction and a wind speed defined in open field at 10m above ground, therefore free from obstruction by the urban tissue. This analysis provides a detailed snapshot of airflow patterns and velocity distribution across your site at a specific moment revealing how wind behaves under particular conditions. This analysis captures the complex interactions between building geometry and airflow conditions to identify potential wind acceleration, stagnant zones, and areas of moderate airflow that contribute to improved microclimate.

By exposing these easy to source inputs, the wind direction and wind speed, we enable users to test customized scenarios beyond the limitations of a typical weather file. Weather this means connecting your designs to realtime data from local meteorological stations close to your site, or testing edge case probabilities to identify potential high risk situations, you can fully customize this simulation and combine multiple scenarios for a unique view of the design.

By visualizing these wind dynamics, designers can strategically refine building orientation, adjust facade porosity, and implement protective measures for entrances, outdoor leisure and public spaces. The simulation supports evidence-based decisions for enhancing natural ventilation, mitigating discomfort in pedestrian areas, and creating wind-sheltered zones where needed, ultimately ensuring that outdoor spaces remain functional, comfortable, and safe during specific seasonal conditions.
