The landscaping on my site doesn’t have any adjacent parking nor located in a slope, but has wind tunnel effect. The results of wind tunnel test at various points on site proves that on an average, the wind is comfortable for activities such as sitting and walking. So based on this fact, can i assume my Kmc value to be average. My landscape consultant has specified a high value for Kmc(for trees), which seems to be unrealistic to me. Since the site has dense landscaping and that there is a composite landscape type at any location(ground cover or shrub under tree canopy), i think that there is no reason for a high Kmc. Please advice.
Thanks

That's hard to say without seeing the site. If I had hired a landscape consultant to help witht he design and calculations here, I would generally defer to their judgement. But if you think they're incorrect, I suppose it's your prerogative to change the numbers.
