Abstract
One perspective raises concerns about the risks of compromising the building's structural integrity due to snow accumulation, cautioning excessive snow could exceed the roof's design load capacity and result in catastrophic failure. Conversely, proponents of mechanical snow retention contend that these systems are essential for effective snow management in a controlled manner to prevent hazardous rooftop avalanches, thereby minimizing safety risks to both pedestrians and property.
