Wind Engineering and Building Aerodynamics have developed in the past three decades as a modern interdisciplinary engineering science with aspects of meteorology, fluid mechanics and structural engineering. The COST Action C14 brings together the main European researchers and research Institutions working on these subjects. Its main objectives are: to evaluate and quantify wind effects in dense urban areas with a European wind climate, in terms of transport of gases and particles in the urban atmosphere, wind effects on people, buildings, other structures, and urban built environment; to improve the design tools available to engineers and urban planners to allow for such effects with a view to improving the quality of the urban environment and mitigating windstorm impacts and reducing wind induced failure.

Final workshop on Action D33 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 13-15 May, 2009.

The second international conference organised by

focused on innovation and the environmental aspects of using wood and wood products, presenting state-of-the-art production technologies in wood modification, as well as the development of recycling technologies and systems for modified wood and related barriers and challenges.
