Climate ratings
Turn climate requirements into structural, fabric, and operational limits your crews can respect.
How we approach Climate ratings
Climate ratings should connect to scenarios: directional wind, wet snow, driving rain, and solar gain - not single-number marketing. We help define acceptance tests and instrumentation that prove ratings in your configuration.
Thermal performance ties to occupancy, equipment heat loads, and door discipline. We align HVAC assumptions with realistic generator run times and fuel logistics.
For cold climates, we address snow shedding, ice accretion on guy lines, and emergency egress when openings ice.

Ratings operators can trust
We prefer evidence-backed envelopes with explicit exclusions over optimistic badges.
- Scenario definitions with return periods and safety factors stated plainly.
- Test reports mapped to configuration states and seam details.
- Operational mitigations when forecasts exceed rated conditions.
