Symphonia Pop is a new 32-storey condo development to be built next to an existing 26-storey tower. Located along the Saint Lawrence River in a low-rise neighborhood, the project is particularly exposed to prevailing winds. Lasalle|NHC provided a wind engineering study including pedestrian comfort and wind load assessment. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and local climate data, detailed wind velocities were modelled in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Based on the study results and recommended guidelines for wind comfort, landscaping and design mitigation measures were recommended. Minimum and maximum pressure values were also determined to support the building envelope design.
