Designing Classically Inspired Windows for Today's Impact Resiliency Codes

Designing high-performance windows and doors with the right classical proportion and symmetry for custom, traditional buildings require region specific solutions informed by real-world storm performance. Across the U.S., code requirements for wind and impact resistance vary by region, while increasingly severe weather events continue to challenge designers, manufacturers, and insurers.

Since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, significant advancements have been made in window and door products, detailing, and regulations to improve life safety, reduce property damage, and enhance building performance. This course examines proven strategies to mitigate water and wind infiltration through case studies and tested architectural details. Emphasis is placed on evaluating window and door performance within the context of the entire building—including envelope detailing and energy-efficiency considerations—while maintaining design intent and code compliance.
