In this video, Mindy Dahlquist from TRA Snow and Sun sheds light on the often-overlooked challenges of rooftop snow retention. Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, she explores the safety concerns, performance issues, and design solutions related to managing snow and ice accumulation on roofs. The course provides vital information for architects and designers working in both high and low snow load regions, helping fill the gap left by the lack of snow retention codes and standards.
This course covers:
✅ Safety risks and structural challenges from snow and ice on roofs
✅ Snow behavior in low vs. high snow load regions
✅ Importance of pitch, materials, and attachment in snow retention systems
✅ Real-world examples from regions like Lake Tahoe with extreme snow loads
✅ Design strategies to mitigate glaciation and avalanche-type events on roofs
