Wall of Wind

Wall of Wind (WoW) is a large scale wind engineering testing facility at Florida International University.

In addition to aerodynamic test at large-scale and high wind speeds, the facility will allow for wind-driven rain testing of building envelope as well as destructive testing of low-rise test buildings constructed with actual materials. WoW testing will advance knowledge in the field of wind engineering for coastal hazard mitigation and enable the development of more effective design criteria, engineering solutions, and products helping to reduce risks associated with the use of conventional design provisions.
