Welcome to Fortis Biome.

The first façade engineering division to account for planetary changes through advice, literature, live climate data, online tools and research

Responding to the Earth’s changing climatic conditions

Through façade engineering requires comprehension of meteorological data and wider regional physical characteristics. One dimensional approaches are not enough.

We have developed Fortis Biome to answer to the need to join current façade engineering to a much needed interaction with the natural world we live and build in.

BIOME is a scientific division that is dedicated to connecting climate and façade engineering through the study of meteorological, climatic and environmental sciences to answer questions about the way in which existing and future facades will need to interact with a changing world, Biome shifts.

There are three disciplines with corresponding services

We have developed an industry first with SITE-MET©

This is a dedicated free service for the construction industry which helps mitigate potential loss and increase site safety. The aim is to provide those that build, manage and commission construction an opportunity to get ahead in readiness for inclement weather.

Aquatic

Aquatic biomes encompass freshwater and marine environments. Freshwater biomes include lakes, rivers, ponds, and wetlands, while marine biomes cover oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries.

Forest

The temperate deciduous forest biome can be found in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It features four distinct seasons, with cold winters and warm summers.

Desert

Deserts are arid environments characterized by low rainfall and extreme temperatures. They can be hot deserts, like the Sahara, or cold deserts, like the Gobi.

Grassland

Grasslands are regions with fertile soils and moderate precipitation. They can be classified as temperate or tropical.

Tundra

Grasslands are regions with fertile soils and moderate precipitation. They can be classified as temperate or tropical.

SITE-MET

SITE-MET© is an early adverse weather warning service to aid the construction industry in the protection of personnel, material and plant assets.

We have developed this service so that all trades and disciplines can subscribe to an automated early warning facility which will send site operatives and clients protection measure guidance checklists specific to the impending climatic condition to a specific region.
Our objective is to provide helpful guidance by offering a system which reduces tasks and only induces readiness for inclement weather which can result in minor but also major delays. Personal safety, mitigating asset loss and loss of downtime is at the focus of the guidance.

To sign up for free, please use the map below as a reference and enter the postcode nearest to your site location. We’ll then contact you to notify you of any adverse weather warnings in your local area.

Because we review accredited data sets, the system will sometimes offer the nearest postcode in your region that we have vetted for reliable sourcing.
