Prototype building

Two low-rise buildings were measured in the Meteorological Wind Tunnel at WEFL, Colorado State University. The prototype dimensions of the buildings were: 100 ft (30.5 m) x 200 ft (61 m) x 32 ft (9.75 m) and 100 ft (30.5 m) x 200 ft (61 m) x 20 ft (6.1 m). These buildings were respectively labeled as Building I (eave height of 32 ft) and Building II (eave height of 20 ft). Both the buildings were modeled at the geometrical cale of 1:200. The models were furnished with a total of 125 and 115 pressure taps for Building I and Building II, respectively.
