Effects of Climate Conditions on the Building
Extreme climate conditions are more intense and can cause more diseases and fatalities,
particularly among susceptible individuals, and the destruction of various necessities from
the community. Long-term problems in climate conditions may harm several sectors of
civilization, either direct or indirect. Severe climate changes pose a hazard to society as well.
This perspective encompasses the various problems encountered through the aspect of
climate conditions in iTower 2.0 located at P. Campa Street, Metro Manila. Consequently,
here are the problems encountered by the said condominium in the workplace:
