Wash Bay Framed in Wood 3

[KootK]

I'm reviewing a little addition to a car dealership. 1/2 of the space is dedicated to a wash bay. Cars come into get fixed and get a rinse down beforehand I guess. There is no architect on the project, just S/M/E. Owner's decision it seems. Everything is framed in light frame wood (studs & trusses). To my knowledge, there may not even be interior finishes.

How do we feel about durability with this? There's obviously a large garage door so I also worry about considering this a heated structure.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Ha! Well thanks. I don't know that my opinion deserves your respect, quite the other way around, but in any case the hilarity of the situation is that that video was posted on this forum a while back and I dismissed it out of hand after watching only about 5 minutes of it. I thought it was some type of green buildings lecture. It was only after I decided to give it a second go and actually watch it fully that I realized its value.
