Architectural planning and constructive methods of design of windproof buildings

Abstract

Wind is one of the factors that determines the degree of operating comfort of the urban environment and formation of individual buildings, including housing. In areas where it is recommended to plan districts and neighborhoods to protect the area from the wind and provide normative duration of insolation, windproof buildings are widely used. Windbreaks reduce wind speed, changing its direction and divide the air mass into separate streams. Windbreaks are placed on the windward side area along the perimeter of the quarter, on a hill or on the territory. Aeration theory, using graphic-analytical methods for analysis of wind conditions, allows to calculate the area of the wind shadow of the house,
