The City of Toronto Urban Design guide to the terms of reference for a pedestrian level wind study, prepared with RWDI, covering the wind analysis filed with a development application. It sets out the rationale, the height and area triggers that classify a proposal as low, moderate or high, and the application process for computational fluid dynamics phase 1 and 2 and wind tunnel studies. Its appendix carries the project and proximity model, meteorological data and wind tunnel specifications, the pedestrian comfort and safety criteria, and wind responsive design guidance.
