What shapes a project in Duluth
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Northern design loads
St. Louis County is in Minnesota's 5-foot frost footing zone and carries a 60-pound-per-square-foot ground snow load, compared with 3 1/2 feet and 50 pounds in southern counties. Additions, garages and new roofs are designed to those numbers.
Climate zone 7
Minnesota's commercial energy code places St. Louis County in climate zone 7, the colder of the state's two zones. Attic air sealing and insulation matter here for comfort and for limiting the heat loss that UMN Extension links to ice dams.
Historic properties
The city keeps lists of local historic landmarks and of properties in local and national historic districts. Checking those lists early helps when a project changes a building's exterior.
