Climate

Different climates, and different interior space conditions, require different assemblies, materials, and design strategies. Increasing the complexity for building designers are different wind loads, earthquake risks, wildfire and flood probabilities. With all these factors playing a role in building design, only one thing can be stated with certainty – where you build should matter to how you build.
