How to ensure pedestrian wind comfort an safety in Canada, in complex urban environments?
Urban wind is rarely intuitive. Between building layouts, local acceleration effects and national guidelines, small design choices can significantly impact comfort, or even safety.
This webinar focuses on Canadian case studies. With Shannon Testart form SLR Consulting (Canada), an UrbaWind® user since 2013, we will show how wind comfort is assessed on real projects.
You will see how guidelines are applied in practice, and how the lead to concrete design decisions. From comfort criteria to CFD-based mappings, the session brings a clear and operational approach to urban wind assessment.
