F24 -- Airflow Around Buildings (I-P)

This chapter provides basic information for evaluating windflow patterns, estimating wind pressures, and identifying problems caused bythe effects of wind on pedestrians and buildings, including ventilationintakes, exhausts, and equipment. In most cases, detailed solutions areaddressed in other chapters. Related information can be found in Chapters 11,14, 16, and 37 of this volume; in Chapters 31, 32, 45, 47, and 53 of the 2019 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications; andin Chapters 30, 35, and 40 of the 2020 ASHRAEHandbook—HVAC Systems and Equipment.
