An Empirical Study on the Optimization of Building Layout in the Affected Space of Ventilation Corridors—Taking Shijiazhuang as an Example
Source abstract
Abstract
This article focuses on how to further explore the impact of building layout and form on the local wind environment in micro scale ventilation corridors connected to the urban scale. Taking Shijiazhuang as the research area, three typical blocks of complex building forms, including old and new ones, were selected near the built ventilation corridors. CFD numerical simulation and on-site observation experiments were conducted to analyze the impact of different building heights and layouts on the wind environment in each typical block qualitatively and quantitatively. The above can provide a reference and guidance for the construction of secondary and tertiary ventilation corridors and the spatial form design of functional buildings during urban renewal in the stock era. The results show the following: (1) average wind speed, Mean Wind Velocity ratio, and the proportion of the outdoor pedestrian comfort zone are negatively correlated with the building height, but there is a threshold for them to decrease with the increase in the building height. Observation experiments also indicate that in the background of the south wind, the internal and leeward wind environment of new high-rise residential areas is better than that of old low residential areas. (2) Regression analysis was conducted between the simulated average wind speed and the building height, indicating that regulating the average building height to be below 45 m can improve the wind environment as the building height decreases. (3) The enclosed building complex has the smallest impact distance on downstream wind speed compared to point, row, and staggered layouts, but its internal ventilation environment is relatively poor. To ensure the ventilation performance, the upper limit of the building height should be stricter, and it should be controlled within at least 40 m, especially below 30 m. (4) In the process of urban renewal in the future, it is recommended to conduct an overall ventilation efficiency evaluation for different blocks. Compared to others, increasing the height of buildings and leaving more space to increase the inter site ratio/building spacing is more beneficial for the overall ventilation environment.
