Abstract
In many storms, high-wind velocity can cause severe damage to building structures by virtue of differential pressures caused by high-wind velocity winds traversing the structure, creating differential inside-outside pressures. Extremely low pressure on the downwind side of the structure causing higher internal pressures inside the structure to lift the roof or burst out windows and the like on the downwind side of the structure. The destructive effects of high-velocity winds on building structures are avoided by providing the building with controlled openings on the various surfaces of the building. Air pressure sensing devices sense pressure differentials caused by high-velocity winds on the upwind and downwind sides of the building and controlling the pressure control opening such that the high-pressure surface opening is closed and the low-pressure surface control opening is opened.
