Construction of aluminum frames for a luxury apartment complex in the heart of Westwood Village in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles climate is considered subtropical-Mediterranean. It is characterized by abundant sunshine throughout the year. Moreover, the Los Angeles area is experiencing microclimate effects with large temperature fluctuations in close physical proximity to the weather events. Specifically, during the morning hours there may be clouds or fog that turn into sunshine early in the afternoon. Dew points in the summer range from 13.6°C in June to 16.2°C in August. The average annual rainfall has been estimated to be 384.6 mm of water, or 35 days per year, and comes in the form of sudden storms. As regards snowfall, it is considered extremely rare in flatlands, while in mountain areas snowfall is a normal occurrence during winter.
In order to better serve the users of the building and to ensure optimal response to the weather conditions prevailing in the area, the EPAL 18000 Ultra K range was selected.
