Snow load, heat loss and ice dams · 14 winter days
Educational simulation only. Not for real building design: snow loads, member sizes, insulation and ice-dam behaviour in real buildings depend on local codes, site conditions and a qualified engineer. Never climb on or shovel a real roof, and never test ice thickness yourself.
