Downdraft Effects

Downdraft Effects is a wind comfort phenomenon characterized by the downward acceleration of wind flows near tall buildings, distinguished from other microclimatic effects by its origin in the vertical deflection of wind due to building aerodynamics and its direct impact on pedestrian-level wind conditions.
