Wind & climate influence our daily lives in more ways than we may be aware. From wind loading on buildings, to pollution dispersion in the atmosphere, climate influences our routines and shapes our fortunes in significant ways. GmE offers a broad range of services that address issues and problems related to the microclimate, including:
Wind effects on pedestrians
Wind forces on structures
Snow loading on roofs
Snow drifting around buildings
Cladding pressures on building envelopes
Field measurements and structural response
Dynamic wind effects on flexible structures www.dfa-hovey.com
Snow accumulation on roofs is a major design consideration for both structural loading and performance of the building envelope. GmE applies a custom hybrid Snow Accumulation Modelling (SAM) technique to predict snow depths and snow loading on complex roofs or roofs in unusual surroundings using wind tunnel testing, computational simulation and historical weather data.
