Abstract
The study uses wind tunnel experiments to explore the potential for harnessing wind energy from aerodynamic phenomena in selected housing estates in Warsaw, Poland. Aimed at addressing the challenges posed by the European 'Fit for 55' resolution, our research focuses on the energy recovery capabilities of large-panel technology buildings established in the latter half of the twentieth century. We aim to provide a roadmap for integrating wind energy solutions into urban planning and design by analyzing the aerodynamic effects within urban environments. Our methodology includes qualitative assessments of wind patterns around residential neighbourhoods and their impact on potential wind energy utilization. Results indicate that specific urban configurations can significantly enhance the efficiency of wind energy harvesting, offering a promising avenue for sustainable urban development. This study contributes to the growing field of renewable energy research by highlighting the untapped potential of urban wind resources and proposing design considerations for future architectural projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
