Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP1096179

Funded Activity Summary

Occupant comfort, cognitive performance and task performance in wind-excited tall buildings. Strong winds are sensitive to climate change and highly unpredictable, critically affecting the design of tall buildings and our built environment. The outcomes of this research will revolutionalise current design approach for occupant comfort in wind-excited tall buildings and deliver a new generation of tall buildings that provides a comfortable living and working environment without a degradation of work performance due to wind-induced vibration. The transfer of this knowledge from research to practice will enhance the international competitiveness of our architecture, engineering and construction professionals, boosting our involvement in major tall building projects worldwide and bringing long-term economical benefits to Australia.
