Why geodesic dome ?

How do Igludome withstand against heavy wind or hurricane?

Igludome performed simulations of the heat transfer and aerodynamics; The results show that as the dome has 28% less surface area per volume enclosed than any other shape, the heat loss would be 28 percent less, It means saving energy and money. The dome’s spherical shape with no moveless corners results in highly efficient natural air circulation, maintaining even temperatures more quickly than other forms. Simulation proves that the geodesic dome’s aerodynamic shape offers perfect protection against winds by minimizing the pressure force acting on the building surface. It also makes that cold air flows around the dome instead of forcing its way into the interior.
