  16. Air Structures • Emergency Exits

  17. Air Structures • Lighting

  18. Air Structures • Benefits • Low Capital Cost • Removable • Structureless Clear Span

  19. Air Structures • Limitations • 8-12 year life • High energy costs (24/7) • Snow/ice maintenance required • Subject to vandalism • Set-up is labor intensive!

  20. Air Structures • Things to Remember • Must have storage space – skin and airlocks • Installation/removal could damage court surface • Address snow/ice accumulation • Plan for catastrophic failure • Be sure facility is secure • Consider underground air delivery and return • Budget to replace skin in 10 years
