AERMOD View - Creating Sloped Roof Buildings
When modeling point sources near structures, the Building Profile Input Program (BPIP) and BPIP-PRIME executables are used to calculate downwash values for input to air dispersion models like AERMOD and CALPUFF. One limitation of BPIP is that it can only model buildings with flat roofs. Buildings featuring a sloped or pitched roof must be approximated.
