Confort eólico en zonas urbanas. Edificio a ser construido en la ciudad de Montevideo, Uruguay
Keywords:
Confort eólico, estructuras altas y túnel de viento.Abstract
RESUMEN: La calidad de los espacios urbanos ha adquirido una especial atención en los últimos años a través del reconocimiento de que las condiciones micro-climáticas de los emplazamientos modifican la
vida de las ciudades económica y socialmente. Es por estas razones que se ha dedicado un esfuerzo particular al estudio de los niveles de confort eólico peatonal. Este estudio evaluó el clima de vientos alrededor de una
nueva edificación a insertar en un entorno construido, caracterizado por edificios de mediana altura de la ciudad de Montevideo. La evaluación se realizó a través de un modelo a escala reducida de la edificación y el
emplazamiento ensayado en un túnel de viento de capa límite. El estudio permitió identificar tres zonas donde aparecieron condiciones de riesgo y falta de confort eólico peatonal, y proponer posibles medidas de mitigación.
ABSTRACT: The quality of urban spaces has gained attention in recent years through the recognition that micro-climatic conditions of specific locations, modify the social and economic activities of cities.
A particular effort has been devoted to the study of pedestrian wind comfort levels. This study evaluates wind climate around a new building to be inserted into a built environment characterized by mid-rise
buildings in the city of Montevideo. The evaluation was made through a reduced-scale model of the building and the environment tested in a wind tunnel boundary layer. The study identified three unsafe areas and the
lack of pedestrian wind comfort. Possible mitigation measures were proposed.
