Pedestrian-level wind speed enhancement with void decks in three-dimensional urban street canyons
Cities suffer from low wind speeds due to the blockage effects of urban structures. Low wind speeds inhibit a city's ability to self-ventilate and reduce thermal comfort in tropical cities. Building porosity has been shown to be an effective architectural feature to channel winds into the pedes...
