Airfoil as wind mitigation system for securing building rooftops exposed to elevated winds
A wind mitigation device includes one or more posts extending upward from the roof of a building and having a cross-sectional shape of an airfoil. The airfoil posts may be aligned in the same direction, or all facing outward along the periphery. The airfoil posts may be of the same or differing sizes. The amount of force holding a roof down generated by a plurality of airfoil posts is correlated with the total surface area of the entire airfoil post system.

Wind mitigation and wind power device
A wind mitigation system for attachment to a residential or commercial building to mitigate wind suction forces known to damage roof structures, and to harness wind energy to create electricity. The system may comprise one or more rotating cylinders which make use of the Magnus effect, a scientific phenomenon involving air flow over a rotating cylindrical object. Rotating Magnus cylinders are installed on the roof, preferably at or near the roof-wall junction of a building in order to provide the greatest suppression of perpendicular wind forces and resulting vortices. Wind flowing across the Magnus cylinders creates a downward force that is transferred to the roof by structural support brackets. The downward force counters the upward lifting forces generated by high winds so as to prevent uplifting of the roof structure. Electrical energy is generated from oscillations resulting from variations in wind speed.

Generalized Cost-Effectiveness of Residential Wind Mitigation Strategies for Wood-Frame, Single Family House in the USA
Wind is one of the deadliest and most expensive hazards in the United States. Wind hazards cause significant damage to buildings and economic losses to homeowners. Economic losses average approximately $3.8 billion annually from hurricane winds and are not decreasing, even despite enhanced construction practices to reduce wind damage. Thus, the effectiveness of mitigation strategies should be evaluated in order to lower the cost incurred by this hazard. Several studies have suggested building code improvements to mitigate the wind hazard, this additional comprehensive research provides selecting economically beneficial mitigation strategies to consider in building code revisions. In a step toward addressing this need, the current study was conducted to determine the cost effectiveness of mitigation strategies for new and retrofit construction of a wood-framed, single-family, residential building case study. Net benefit, defined as the difference between the life-cycle wind loss before and after implementation of the mitigation strategy, was calculated for 15 wind mitigation strategies and their combinations, with new and retrofit construction costs ranging between $1,200 to $12,000 and a decision-making time horizon ranging between 5 and 30 years. Payback periods, defined as the number of years to recover the investment, were calculated for each mitigation strategy. Results were summarized by cost effectiveness for all ASCE 7 wind speed contour intervals. The results of this study serve as a starting point for further refinement of the economic justification needed to properly evaluate potential building code changes.

RE
Overview Wind presents a particularly difficult design challenge, especially when trying to design lighter, low cost heliostats. Large, flat areas of land where heliostats are mostly likely to be built are also the areas most prone to unrestricted wind. Our prototype development process focused on understanding key areas of wind mitigation, including how wind affects heliostat structure design, light spot targeting, and electric power generation. We also examined cost-benefit tradeoffs with different mitigation strategies.
