N2  - Wind induced motion in buildings may result in excessive vibrations that hinder the usage of them. Traditionally, wind loads are represented as static forces acting on the building with increased magnitudes relative to its height. Consideration of human comfort limits is not a common practice for regular designers. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of different parameters on the human comfort limits of medium rise buildings. The parameters include the used structural system, number of floors, and floor height. Total of 92 models are examined using linear static and dynamic analyses to determine the acceleration and drift values under wind loading.  Static analysis as well as dynamic (time history) analyses are employed in the performed parametric study
