Outdoor Thermal Comfort

When investigating the overall thermal comfort of pedestrians at outdoor occupied areas, Wind speed is not the only contributor to the quality of spaces. A combination of other factors such as temperature, humidity, solar radiation, daylight, tend to influence the sensation of thermal comfort.

Pedestrian wind Comfort

Based on comfort criteria, local wind climate, and aerodynamic parameters, the Pedestrian-level wind Comfort studies advise on the wind conditions in terms of pedestrian comfort and safety at outdoor occupied areas (e.g. building entrances, terraces & outdoor recreational areas, balconies, etc.).

Glare and Reflectivity

A reflectivity and glare analysis is carried out to determine if a proposed development would create a visual nuisance or hazard to surrounding buildings, motorists and pedestrians.

Wind-driven Rain

Rain that is propelled by wind can be driven into ventilation openings, or beneath overhanging roofs or canopies and can either become a nuisance or cause damage. It is possible to decrease the potential risk of wind driven rain on or into a development if issues are considered early in the design process.
