Hazardous pollutant containment zones should be maintained at a pressure lower than the outdoor atmospheric to prevent pollutants from escaping environment. However, wind conditions can cause breaching of zone that is established through mechanical ventilation. This paper combines external (Pe) time series on an internally depressurized building with carefully designed ventilation network analyze indoor (Pi) and breach duration. The Pe data are obtained by wind-tunnel (WT) tests computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations large-eddy simulation (LES) scale-adaptive (SAS). objectives (1) comparing results WT CFD; (2) assessing impact uncertainties in CFD resulting Pi duration; (3) estimating duration for initial case study depressurization -40 Pa reference speed (Uref) 12.65 m/s height. discussed terms dimensionless coefficients (Cpe Cpi). It shown LES especially SAS Cpe deviate substantially values but these Cpi remains fairly limited. Deviations statistics fall within experimental uncertainty, deviates generally less 10% result. Estimated durations Uref = m/s, however, go up 80% spite −40 depressurization, stressing importance this type studies.
