A 22-storey office building is 330 ft. tall with plan dimensions of 100 ft. x 100 ft. Each floor is 15 ft. in height. The structure is of curtain wall construction with all the windows fixed in place. A 20 mph wind blows normal to one of the sides as shown in the figure. Assume winter design conditions, negligible pressurization of the building and that the neutral axis is located on the 10th floor. The indoor-outdoor temperature difference is 50°F. The draft coefficient (Ca) is 0.8. Determine the total pressure drop for the floor 22 20 mph wind W=100 ft. L=100 ft. PLAN
