snow load standards.
The starting point was a structure with a sloping roof that could shoulder
snow load, much like ski chalets sited above the treeline.
It is also certified to withstand wind load (2400 Pascal) and
snow load (5400 Pascal), high salt mist and ammonia resistance certified by TUV NORD.

is wind resistant up to 62km/h, has a
snow load capacity of up to 40kg (that's about 15cm depth) and can withstand temperatures from -20degC to +60degC.
The building was rated to withstand 2.5 kPa ground
snow load and 0.39 kPa windspeed.
