You need to make control volume, would be about 15 times the dimension horizontally and 5 times up and down. then while meshing, or if you can do in 3d modelling software itself, subtract (boolean operation) the building from the control volume. You will end up with a big box with building shaped hole inside. then mesh that box, define inlet, outlet and walls.
Hope this helps !

Also, since in your case it is a building, there will be no dimension below (obviously), the building will be on one wall. i keep space everywhere in wing study and stuff like that...
