The influence of building height variability on pollutant dispersion and pedestrian ventilation in idealized high-rise urban areas

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2012
Studies are still required to understand how rural/marine wind remove ground-level pollutants released uniformly in street networks of high-rise urban areas. The link between building height variability and pollutant removal process still remains unclear.

RADON ACTION LEVEL FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS

Health Physics, 1999
Radon and its progeny are the major contributors to the natural radiation dose received by human beings. Many countries and radiological authorities have recommended radon action levels to limit the indoor radon concentrations and, hence, the annual doses to the general public.

Adaptable High-Rise Buildings

IABSE Reports, 2010
<p>This paper presents an innovative concept that allows a flexible use of high-rise buildings by incorporating adaptable structural components, thus contributing to a sustainable development by extending the building's service life. The focus lies on vertical adaptability which implies a structural conception for different floor heights and for ...
