After spending some time in our new development area, which is currently under construction, I noticed that it is quite windy there at the moment. The site is located in Baden-Württemberg, postal code 74, at about 360 m (1,180 ft) above sea level. A question for those building homes:
I look forward to your opinions.
Thank you

- Did you consider wind protection in your planning from the start, or did you only make adjustments later as needed?
- In the middle of the development area, should most of the wind already be broken up?
I look forward to your opinions.
Thank you

newly developed residential area [...] in Baden-Württemberg, postal code 74 This doesn’t seem to support concerns that there is a lot of open space between the houses for wind to cause problems. Since the area is newly and sparsely built, with very little shrubbery yet, the fresh breeze can still pick up quite a bit of speed. I have already discussed diffusers in posts #4 and #25 of this reading tip https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/kfw55-an-landesstrasse-grosse-laermemissionen-von-der-strasse.27821/#post-263422 and further in several posts there: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/kfw55-an-landesstrasse-grosse-laermemissionen-von-der-strasse.27821/#post-263422

What do you mean by wind protection? Are you referring to the risk of storms and whether the roof tiles will hold, or if it’s drafty on the terrace in the evening?
I assume it’s the latter... New housing developments are often on the outskirts of town, so it’s not uncommon for it to be windy there.
The rest is usually very specific to the location. I know of a new development in the next town over, now in its third expansion phase. It’s on a slight north-facing slope with a forest above. It’s situated in a hollow. It acts like the town’s air conditioning. Not a single house there hasn’t installed some kind of wind protection like glass panels by the second year at the latest.
Two kilometers (1.2 miles) away there’s another new development on "the other side" and lower down. That’s where the heat stays.
What I’m saying is, this is an issue that no one can answer from a distance. You can’t really change it anyway. Just wait and then decide if you want to do anything about it. The housing density might even make it worse if the wind is forced to squeeze through the tightly packed buildings.
