RWDI can assist designers of casinos with a wide range of services.  Because many casino buildings are large, they can benefit from the same kinds of studies associated with high rise buildings, convention centers, etc.

Thermal Comfort

Cooling large spaces can be a challenge, especially sun-filled glazed atria or courtyards. RWDI can assess this impact and help mitigate problems affecting the comfort guests.

Pedestrian Comfort

The design of a casino can influence wind activity, thereby impacting safety and comfort of outdoor activity areas such as pools, tennis courts, lounging areas, and restaurant facilities. Wind breaks, screens, and minor modifications to buildings can improve wind conditions.

Cladding / Structural Loads

Roofs and walls of major structures like casinos require accurate information for the design of the buildings' structural and curtain-wall systems.

Snow and Ice

Accumulations of snow and ice on roofs or snowdrifts around buildings in winter climates can lead to structural failures, blocked access, or increased maintenance. Studies designed to identify such impacts can assist designers in mitigating these conditions.

Sun / Shade Impacts

Outdoor facilities can be affected by shadow patterns created by the facility or its neighbors, while solar glare from reflective surfaces can impact some activities.

Air Quality / Ventilation

Air quality impacts from outdoor sources such as parking facilities, local traffic, loading docks, kitchens, and diesel generators must be taken into account when designing fresh air intakes. Correct design of interior ventilation systems in terms of temperature and air flow is important for economic operation of air conditioning and heating systems.

Smoke

Smoke control, in the event of a fire, is also an important design consideration for large indoor spaces such as atria.

Noise / Acoustics / Vibration

Casinos require functional acoustics for a wide variety of events. Optimal amounts of placement of sound absorptive finishes enhance speech intelligibility and music uses, while background noise from crowds and/or mechanical systems is controlled for broadcast booths, meeting rooms, and hotel suites. Floor vibration of spectator decks should also be addressed to avoid uncomfortable, perceptible motion.
