1.0 Executive Summary

Table 1. Project information

Project name Vicarage Road, Kingston
Project address iQ Student Accommodation, Vicarage Road, Kingston, KT1 1TY
Project owner/developer Ardmore
Architect Paul Brookes Architects
Inhabit’s client Ardmore
Inhabit’s role Consultant, Façade designer, system drafter, façade structural
engineer, façade thermal and condensation calculations

This calculation report provides an assessment of the design cladding wind loads for the project.

The worst-case loading for each elevation captured in the below tables. Overmarked sketches have
been included on the following pages to clarify worst case wind loads to specific areas.

Table 2. Summary of worst-case and key wind loads

Elevation Max positive pressure [kPa] Max negative pressure [kPa]

4.0 Wind Analysis

4.1 Orography

Building is situated within the town area of central London; therefore, orography factor is omitted as
orography is insignificant.
