An exciting development in Kingston Upon Thames, New Malden High Street is a nine-storey mixed-use building comprising of 49 residential units and ground floor commercial space.
SRE completed Microclimate – Pedestrian Wind Comfort Analysis for the proposed space to ascertain the impact on pedestrian comfort with respect to wind velocity. A transient Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) wind study was performed analysing wind directions for different seasons throughout the year to provide a thorough comparison against the Lawson Comfort Criteria. Mitigation measures such as soft landscaping and localised solid panels were recommended to improve wind conditions.
