Building (B) is the 1st object in the B.A.S.E. Acronym.
Please note each of the 4 main object types have their own special considerations and optimal wind conditions. Building Objects can range from any solid man-made structure to a place where people live and/or work. BASE is very individualistic and as such jumpers have different opinions as to what qualifies. For example: while most jumpers feel jumping from a sky scraper under construction as counting, some purists feel a building must be finished and occupied to qualify. Many times the exit point will be dictated by access but if possible/reasonable the best place to exit a B is at the highest corner, with the best winds, and the safest landing area. Please note: most buildings require minimal to zero winds to maximize safety margin. Reason why is that the surrounding structures will cause turbulence plus the various building materials in a city area will heat and cool at different rates which can cause one or more of the following: updrafts, downdrafts, and rotors.
