Dr. Roy Denoon, Vice President
In 2004, Roy Denoon joined CPP as Principal-in-Charge for international projects after several years as a wind engineering consultant in the Asia-Pacific region.
Roy started his wind engineering career at the University of Edinburgh before proceeding to graduate studies in Australia. During that time, Roy conducted commercial wind tunnel studies for numerous buildings around the Australasian region including many of the stadiums and arenas used for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Roy served as a wind engineering consultant to the organizers of the Sydney 2000 Olympics and conducted on-site monitoring of wind conditions, most notably during the opening and closing ceremonies. Following this, Roy re-located to Hong Kong where he was responsible for the wind engineering of such significant structures as the 480 metre-high Union Square tower in Hong Kong, the Rem Koolhaas-designed CCTV headquarters in Beijing, and Herzog de Meuron's Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics.
Roy has ongoing research interests in tall building design and optimization and has conducted extensive fieldwork to monitor occupant response to building motion. Roy is the Secretary of the Australasian Wind Engineering Society, Co-Chairman of the 12th International Conference on Wind Engineering, which was held in 2007, and a member of several ASCE committees. He edited the AWES Manual for Wind Tunnel Testing of Buildings and has been an active participant on wind loading code committees.
