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., description french : Structures d'atténuation météorologiques pour les bords d’immeuble, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
