Stormwater Management
Any addition of non permeable surfaces will incur issues with rainwater management. This is usually based on the % of land covered in non permeable surfacing.
- Underground basin may be an option
- Keeping parking lot permeable (e.g. gravel) cuts down on % covered
- Routing gutters to rain garden may cut down on basin size needed
- Green roof may reduce basin size
- Green roof increases roof load, installation + maintenance costs
- Provides passive cooling in summer, potentially recouping installation costs in 6 years
- May require irrigation for max cooling
- Possible tax credits depending on municipality
Building Structural Load
Needs to support roof, snow load, 8 - 16 aerial points @ 10,000 lb live load , and fly rig
