Since Hurricane Andrew hit Dade County, Florida in August of 1992, building codes in south Florida have required that windows resist damage from wind and wind-borne debris. Recent codes and standards in development will greatly expand wind-borne debris requirements in hurricane-prone areas outside of south Florida, extending from Texas to Massachusetts.
In this program, architects will learn the what, why, where, and how about hurricane protection for windows.
