Summary:The Aylesbury Comparative Experiment has sought to evaluate the consistency in wind tunnel modelling of low-rise buildings. Seventeen labs worldwide reported results for identical models at 1:100 scale. Analysis indicated that errors in reference pressure are greater than those measured at each of the taps. For the sample of seventeen labs, the lab-to-lab variation in pressure coefficient was above 40 percent.
