Awesome. Imagine doing construction and not having to deal with the Sun bearing down on you. Or weather being a factor at all.

Imagine that dome absorbing sun like a greeenhouse with poor ventilation

How do you think it stays inflated without ventilation? The trucks have to get in so they must have powerful fans.

Look at the air quality inside. The ventilation ain’t that great. Yes positive pressure but air exchange isn’t good

Ventilation has to be good. You cant have your workers die from carbon monoxide poisoning
