Wind engineering, including wind tunnel studies, is conducted most commonly during the design phase of a project. As repurposing, adaptation, and extension of existing buildings are adopted more to meet sustainability goals, wind engineering can play a larger role during construction by demonstrating performance targets are being achieved, while safety and reliability requirements are met. Quay Quarter Tower (QQT) in Sydney, Australia, is a notable example of this and serves as a model of successful integration of structural engineering, wind engineering, and construction practices.

When it comes to the world of healthcare, the term “exhausted” is generally regarded as a bad thing. In fact, the word is frequently associated with long hours, limited supplies, and few options—none of which are particularly positive. However, when it comes to healthcare facilities, exhaustion (especially the effective dispersion of those exhausts) is actually a good thing as it relates to environmental air quality, patient health, and operational excellence.
Unfortunately, plume dispersion associated with architectural aerodynamics is often the most overlooked and/or marginalized of considerations in the design and construction of healthcare facilities…right up to the moment when there is an issue.
