<strong>The</strong>me C: Education and Market Transformationpossible to notice a turbulent air movement area on the windward side in the imageon left.<strong>The</strong> addition of the underground connection seems to slightly improve air flow onthis area. In contrast, pedestrians on the leeward may feel discomfort due to the airstream acceleration, although this flow is pointed to upwards and becomesturbulent, decreasing it velocity.Figure 15: <strong>Building</strong> cross-sections for South wind. Results ranging from 0.0 –5.0m/s.<strong>The</strong> chart below (chart 01) shows the increase of air velocity observed in thewindward side for winds from South due to the constructive solution adopted. Itshows the air velocity variation from the building wall until a distance of 4.0mfrom the building, for three different heights (0.5m, 1.0m and 2.0m) for both cases:underground connection closed (case 01) and open (case 02).Air velocity range with height for South wind2.001.501.000.50m/s0.000.2 0.3 0.5 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0case A 0.5m case A 1.0m case A 2.0mdistance from the wall (m) case B 0.5m case B 1.0m case B 2.0mChart 01: Air Speed Variation in the Courtyard 01 for South wind (windward).629
