I want to be sure the map plays well before I mess with lights.
You HAVE to put in lighting. Like, any lighting at all. Otherwise your map can't be tested. Fullbright maps break the server, so we're not testing them. Put a light_environment in that matches your skybox, then place some ordinary light entities in hallways and spawn, as well as inside buildings.
And it also seems like you didn't use a TF2 skybox. Pick one here, alongside the lighting settings for your light_environment: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2_Sky_List

I'm using a TF2 skybox (sky_hydro_01). I have a mod that changes the skyboxes on my client.
Whats the mod? Do tell, i think it looks really cool

So i feel like that space is not really doing much so maybe finding a way to use it for something?
so maybe something like a stack of boxes so someone like a spy could jump up and over and maybe even make it to a window.
maybe add a smaller box so you can climb on the boxes and jump to the ramp might be useful for getting away from someone chancing you
also could lead to interesting backstabs.
something needs to be done about this space but im not sure what.

Consider uploading your map to the Impromptu on the Steam Group chat,or in the Game days (if you haven't.) You'll get WAY and better feedback than ever,with coordinates of where things are happening,and even a demo to play and watch how good/bad/something the map was.

Ok so i looked at it ingame first of the snow texture loooks a bit to bright (maybe tone it down a bit)
A Engineer can build ontop of the house which itself isnt a problem but when a sniper teleports up here the enemy team has bascically lsot (if the sniper is good) becuase he has an op sightline
you forgot a ramp here which makes it possible to go under the map.
