  ENERGY EFFICIENT (the R-rating of the DOME Home exceeds R-30)
  The double fiberglass shell with urethane form installation, double insulated
  Lexan windows, and 1/3 less outside surface (than a conventional building adds
  30% energy saving) make it avery highly energy efficient dome.

DOME HOUSE ON NAVARRE BEACH, FLORIDA
� DIRECT HIT FROM HURRICANE OPAL � 1995
� WITHSTOOD 144 MPH WINDS, 18 FOOT
TIDAL WAVE STORM SURGE� NO DAMAGE!
FEMA TESTING
�The Wind Science and Engineering Division of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas
successfully tested our composite
dome panels to hurricane shelter standards in
May, 2006.
Testing was consistent with the impact guidelines
of the Florida Building Code, ASTM 1886E/1996E and FEMA 320 and FEMA 361.
We also had a specially built panel successfully pass the tornado shelter standard.
This test consists of 3 separate shots of a 15 lb. 2 x 4, fired at a speed of 100 MPH.
The Dome structures have been exposed to three hurricanes in Florida and numerous
tornados. In all cases the damage was minimal and only minor inconvenience
to the home owner. Wind testing was done at the INEEL
wind storm test facility. The structural test was also conducted by Dr.
Avent of Mississippi State University. Fire Retardant coating is applied to
all WDI dome interior structures. This coating gives the structure a
Class A Rating.�
