Fun Facts about Domes:
• Domes are the most efficient structures known to man, they use less material, are lighter and stronger than any other type of building bar none.

• Because domes have at least 30 percent less surface area than conventionally shaped buildings, it takes at least 30 percent less energy to heat or cool them.

• Domes are naturally hurricane resistant. High winds can pass smoothly over a dome because it has no corners and flat surfaces to cause turbulence; high pressure air presses the dome down towards the ground.

• Domes have acoustic qualities like no other building. If you lay on the floor in the center of a dome and talk, it sounds like you have your head in a large metal pipe. If you stand at side of a dome, a person standing opposite can hear you whisper across the room.
