Snow accumulation around elevated mechanical unit
Snow accumulation around elevated mechanical unit
(OP)
Hi all,
When calculating snow accumulation, do you consider a mechanical roof unit elevated by 1.2m stub-columns same as if it is not elevated ?
Thanks to your input

I understand snow accumulates when wind blows the snow and when snowflakes hit a barrier; they fall and accumulate beside that barrier. In this case the wind can blow under the unit and disperse the accumulated wind. Therefore, I think there should be some reduction in the accumulation.
