Abstract
This study used CONTAM modeling to analyzed analyze the stack effect in high-rise buildings for the terrain and weather conditions of Seoul and Jeju. The differential pressure caused by the stack effect is a function of the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the height of the vertical shaft. Jeju is considered more stable than Seoul, because it is warmer than Seoul in winter. The differential pressure in Jeju is about 60% that of Seoul in for the same height of buildings in winter. However, Jeju is an island and the neutral plane is raised by over 56% by strong winds, although there is less differential pressure caused by the stack effect in Jeju than in Seoul. Due to the raised neutral plane, the region and magnitude of negative pressure in the lower part is larger in Jeju than in Seoul.
