## 3 Performed Full-Scale/Model Test Comparisons
### Low-Rise Buildings
#### 3.2.3 Other Full-Scale/Model Test Comparisons  
Different from the above-mentioned studies focusing on wind pressures on the studied buildings' external surfaces and their wind-induced structural responses, [PERSON] et al. [39] investigated the wind-induced internal pressures seen in a high-rise building. Full-scale measurements were undertaken using absolute pressure meters. The mean pressure coefficients measured inside the full-scale building were around \(-0.26\) and were constant along the building's height. The mean internal pressure coefficients estimated using the wind tunnel model were consistent with those obtained from the full-scale measurement process. It was, therefore, inferred that the mean wind pressure coefficient obtained from the model test was sufficient for examining the mean internal pressures in the building.  
The literature suggests that some advanced measuring techniques were utilized for full-scale experiments on tall buildings. For example, [PERSON] et al. [40] examined the feasibility of using continuous-wave Doppler LiDAR for flow measurements around full-scale buildings, as opposed to traditional experimental instrumentation. The mean wind velocities and the turbulence intensities measured around a full-scale, nominally cuboid building in suburban terrain were compared to the results obtained from a 1:100 scale model. The turbulence

intensities obtained from the wind tunnel experiments were 2-6% higher than the nominal value of 14% measured in the full-scale testing.
