It compromises load
bearing capacity. By how much? If solar panels are acting as the roof how much
more?
The weather
protection shed is important because of extreme rains occurring in the monsoon
which may be more than an order of magnitude than the normal for successive
days. The extent of high temperature that Mumbai experienced in July 2005 was a
shock input temperature of a mean of 54 C more than the 30C Mumbai earth
surface temperature every 5.5 minutes! On account of this at 830 AM(IST) on 26
July 2005 Mumbai was hit by a severe storm at high tide resulting in a deluge.
Look at the damage to
housing:

From this it is clear
that immediate processing of ways of saving our two buildings from such cloud
burst and severe storm is called for like the ubiquitous sheds above official
buildings like police stations and housing societies that we see around us.
Let us take a look at
the extremes of rain that struck Mumbai and Navi Mumbai on 26-27 July 2005:
So at 8:30AM IST on 26 July 2005, when Mumbai received a
shock input temperature of 370 C above the surface temperature of Mumbai of
30C, a severe storm occurred at high
tide and caused flash flooding by heavy
rains which reached 381 mm(order of magnitude above normal) between 1430 and
1730 hrs IST. See Table 1 for the deluge that caused flooding of ground floor
and stopped Mumbai.
Such deluges much
above daily normal have plagued Mumbai for at least half a century and people
with common sense solved the problem by sheds. Even officials and corporators
saw the wisdom of construction of a roof above the buildings so buildings could
be saved from climate change caused by World dam dynamics. Yes it is the World
dam dynamics that are causing the extremes of rain and causing the design basis
envelope of buildings in Mumbai and elsewhere to be violated in every monsoon.
