Suppose I have a rectangular building with five floors, each 10 feet high, 50 feet long in the x direction and 30 feet wide in the y direction. Suppose x is the direction perpendicular to the wind and y is the direction parallel to the wind. Suppose coordinate (0,0) is at the lower left side of the building facing the wind. If I know the wind pressures at each floor level, what would be the coordinates of the resultant wind pressures at each floor level relative to the (0,0) coordinate.

Consider a residential building with 5 floors with two homes at every flat each having 3 m height. You want to design such a piping system that provides the same mass flow rate to all floors with same outlet pressure. Come up with such a piping system that uses only one pump for the whole installment. Draw your system, make your assumptions, and show your results with a case study.

The terrace roof of a building at sea level is planned to have a rectangular floor area with dimensions of 10 m and 20 m. The prevailing wind speed in winter is u∞=25 km/h, and air temperature is assumed to be T∞=0°C. Considering that the outer surface temperature of the building is To=10°C, how should the building be positioned with respect to the prevailing wind direction to minimize the heat loss from the roof?
