2. Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocode_1:_Actions_on...

   In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 1: Actions on structures (abbreviated EN 1991 or, informally, EC 1) describes how to design load-bearing structures. It includes characteristic values for various types of loads and densities for all materials which are likely to be used in construction.

4. Cooling load temperature difference calculation method

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load_temperature...

   The CLF is the cooling load at a given time compared to the heat gain from earlier in the day. [1] [5] The SC, or shading coefficient, is used widely in the evaluation of heat gain through glass and windows. [1] [5] Finally, the SCL, or solar cooling load factor, accounts for the variables associated with solar heat load.

5. Snow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

   Extreme snow accumulation on building roofs. Snow is an important consideration for loads on structures. To address these, European countries employ Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads. [85] In North America, ASCE Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures gives guidance on snow loads. [86]

7. Roof pitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_pitch

   Considerations involved in selecting a roof pitch include availability and cost of materials, aesthetics, ease or difficulty of construction, climatic factors such as wind and potential snow load, [2] and local building codes. The primary purpose of pitching a roof is to redirect wind and precipitation, whether in the form of rain or snow.

8. Structural load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

   Live loads, sometimes also referred to as probabilistic loads, include all the forces that are variable within the object's normal operation cycle not including construction or environmental loads. Roof and floor live loads are produced during maintenance by workers, equipment and materials, and during the life of the structure by movable ...

9. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).
