Description
Pushed by the force of huge fans, fine but steady rain hits a wooden shed almost horizontally, just like a tropical downpour. The structure's roof, made of thick pine panels, undergoes a climatic resistance test in the wind tunnel of the Scientific and Technical Center for Building (CSTB) in Nantes. The facility is one of the only ones in Europe capable of testing full-size buildings parts against the weather and the effects of climate change. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
