Albert Brooks has worked in the field of wind and snow engineering since 2010. In that time, he has gained extensive experience investigating the effects of wind and snow on a variety of structures including tall buildings, sports stadia, airports, museums, and naturally ventilated transit stations around the world. Studying the influence of climate on the built environment has provided him with many opportunities to consult with clients, supporting them through the design process and helping find practical solutions as required.
Albert’s extensive project experience includes outdoor pedestrian wind comfort and door operability, and a broad range of snow services including structural snow loading, assessing snow drifting conditions, consulting on the potential for snow infiltration into building air ventilation systems, and guiding design teams to reduce the risks associated with falling ice and snow. The breadth and depth of his experience were gained through extensive consultation with project teams, physical scale model testing, and numerical assessments, and conducting full-scale climatic wind tunnel simulations.
Albert earned his Bachelor of Science in Engineering and his Master of Applied Science from the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, and is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
