Without the sunlight, most buildings will require some form of daytime and night time lighting. Equipment costs, installation costs, and operational costs must all be considered. For a wood or steel construction building, the owner will need to add enough lumens of light to properly light the working area of the building during the day and night, consuming electricity every minute of use. A fabric building will require typically 1/3 of the lighting capital costs as the bright white underside of the fabric roof reflects and dispersesartificial lighting broadly and evenly, reducing shadows and reaching all areas of the building. In addition, the lights will generally not be turned on during the day in a fabric building, due to its transparency.

Ventilation Fabric buildings feature a high roof design which results in a large volume of interior air space. In agricultural uses, this draws the warm moist air up and away from equipment, machinery, commodities, or livestock.

Steel vs Fabric Roof SystemsThere are many benefits of choosing a fabric building over a traditional building. The fabric roof is one of the first benefits over a traditional style building. Unlike conventional buildings, for example, where the outer covering is often punctured thousands of times to attach the roofing and wall cladding, steel framed fabric structures are much more airtight reducing air and heat loss. The fabric cover has nonconductive properties that reduce the transmission of heat

and cold, making the building feel warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The translucent properties of the fabric covers allow natural daylight into the building, reducing or eliminating daytime lighting costs, and creating safe environments for workers.

Portability & Temporary Options The fact that fabric structures can be built on portable and temporary foundation systems are really what sets them apart from traditional buildings. By simply choosing a temporary foundation type like blocks, sea containers, or a base rail anchor foundation, end users are able to take down and move their buildings to a new job site, or store them until they are needed again. In addition, these types of foundations create little to no environmental impact. If the end user decides to move from the current building location to another, the site the building was constructed on can easily return to its original state.

Construction Time Fabric structures are pre-engineered and manufactured, ready to be shipped unless the building is a custom design. This allows a fabric structure to be erected in weeks instead of months. The end user can move into the building quickly, with minimal interruptions to daily operations. Choosing a fabric structure also reduces the costs associated with constructing the building. Wood and steel buildings tend to have a labour intensive construction process. Steel

Steel from outside of North America has often been recycled and repurposed so many times, that the quality ais very poor.
