✦ Synopsis

Wind tunnel test data on generic low buildings have been obtained at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) to contribute to the NIST aerodynamic database. In Part 1 the basic data and archiving format are presented. In the present paper, data from two models of different roof slope (1:12 and 3:12) at four eave heights each (4.9 m (16 ft), 7.3 m (24 ft), 9.8 m (32 ft), and 12.2 m (40 ft)), in open and suburban terrain conditions, were examined in detail.
