Imposed Floor Loading Here's how they stand: Domestic: 1.5 kN/m² (~2 people) Office: 2.5 kN/m² (~3.3 people) Assembly: 5 kN/m² (~7 people) Should we question these figures? Could reducing them be more sustainable? We’d love your thoughts!

Would You? As Structural Engineers, having a head for heights can sometimes be useful. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but here one of our Senior Engineers, Jonathan Heron, is carrying out a feasibility study on a school roof in Hertfordshire.
