A greenhouse for Arctic conditions cannot be designed as a standard structure and adapted to the wind afterwards. Wind is part of the design task itself.
In Narsarsuaq, terrain and the shape of the valley can alter direction, speed and turbulence. A regional wind value is therefore not enough to describe loads on a specific site.
For Arctic ilua, the envelope, joints, anchoring, edge zones and overall form must be engineered as one system. The aim is not simply more material, but a structure whose behaviour can be understood and documented.
Shelter and terrain may reduce local loads, but they can also create turbulence or snow deposition elsewhere. Wind and snow must therefore be assessed together with access, ventilation and maintenance.
Final dimensioning requires site data and engineering calculations. Ilua’s role is to ask the right design questions early and make sure future engineering begins with real Arctic conditions.
