Abstract

A good outdoor wind environment can guarantee the safety and comfort of student activities. It is also conducive to building energy-saving and low-carbon goals. In this study, the high-rise dormitory area of a university was selected as a research object in the cold region. The study used a combination of numerical simulation and orthogonal tests to analyze the weighting of the influencing factors of the wind environment and to recommend the optimal design scheme. The results indicated that the building layout, building length, width, and height all had different degrees of influence on the outdoor wind environment of the dormitory area. For the slab-type high-rise dormitory, the influence weight of the layout was the strongest, followed by the building height, the width, and, finally, the length. The optimal scheme is a staggered layout with a building length of 50 m, width of 18 m, and height of 85.2 m. The wind environment in this situation performed well in winter and summer. For the tower-type high-rise dormitory, the influence weight of the building height was the greatest, followed by the width, the length, and then the layout. The optimal scheme is a staggered layout with a building length of 26 m, width of 24 m, and height of 85.2 m. The wind environment in this situation performed well. Overall, the study scrutinized the coupling relationship between building morphology and wind environment from the meso-level perspective. At the micro level, we constructed the design method for the dormitory building morphology by considering the wind environment performance as the target. It can assist designers in making decisions during the planning and design phases of project construction to facilitate the positive design of buildings.
