When designing new waterfront structures, it’s important to consider the impact of wind on pedestrian comfort. That’s why Stafr, the project managers for the new project Pynteneset, enlisted the help of NablaFlow to conduct a wind study on their new residential area in Stavanger.
Nablaflow used their software-as-a-service tool, Archiwind, to run a complete wind study on the area. Archiwind is an almost fully automated, versatile, and easy-to-use tool that allows for cost-cutting in wind studies like this one. The report generated from the tool also provides the necessary documentation required by the municipality in addition to the powerful results page with great visualisations.
The results of the study will be used to inform the designers of the new residential area in its development stage. Further wind studies may be conducted in the future before new construction stages begin.
Overall, the wind study conducted by Nablaflow will ensure that the new waterfront structures in Stavanger are designed with pedestrian comfort in mind. The use of Archiwind allows for efficient and accurate analysis of the wind conditions in the area, making it an invaluable tool in projects like this one.
