The topics include indoor natural ventilation, pedestrian wind environment, pollutant dispersion, urban heat island phenomena, urban ventilation, indoor/outdoor thermal comfort, and experimental/numerical techniques to analyze those issues. Winds have a great influence on the outdoor environment, especially in urban areas. Problems that they cause can be attributed to either strong wind or weak wind issues. Strong winds around high-rise buildings can bring about unpleasant, and in some cases dangerous, situations for people in the outdoor environment. On the other hand, weak wind conditions can also cause problems such as air pollution and heat island phenomena in urban areas. Winds enhance urban ventilation and reduce those problems. They also enhance natural ventilation in buildings, which can reduce the energy consumption of mechanical ventilation fans and air conditioners for cooling. Moderate winds improve human thermal comfort in both indoor and outdoor environments in summer. Environmental wind engineering associated with wind tunnel experiments and numerical analysis can contribute to solutions to these issues. 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aFluids 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aCivil Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004 606 $aFluid- and Aerodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aFluids. 615 14$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aCivil Engineering. 615 24$aFluid- and Aerodynamics. 676 $a550 702 $aTamura$b Yukio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYoshie$b Ryuichiro$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254099603321 996 $aAdvanced Environmental Wind Engineering$92532922 997 $aUNINA
