Title:

Weather Mitigation Structures for Buidling Edges

Agreement Number:

913707

Agreement Value:

$120,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 10, 2018 - Mar 15, 2019

Description:

Wind speeds in Toronto limit the utility of outdoor venues during Fall and Spring seasons by discouraging programs that require weather mitigated spaces (e.g. patios, outdoor markets). Structures that can reduce wind speeds by 75% and provide rain cover have the potential to extend the usability of outdoor venues by up to six weeks in Spring and four weeks in Fall. This project will develop a weather mitigation product that is easily deployable, reconfigurable, weather-responsive, and mass-producible to extend the seasonal utility of outdoor venues in Toronto. Its scope will include the construction of a full-scale prototype and verification of its performance via site-collected weather data.
