Cyclone-Glazing and Façade Resilience for the Asia-Pacific Region: Stage 1 – Market Study and Code Survey

To analyze how existing codes and standards could address cyclone-induced risks through façade technologies.

CVU received $85,800 in funding from Trosifol to embark on an important research project, examining current, state-of-the-art cyclone-resistant façade technologies in the Asia-Pacific region. In this region, megacities are developing to address the demand for additional residential and office space, which calls for the construction of high-rise buildings.

The study analyzed how existing codes and standards could address cyclone-induced risks through façade technologies. To support this research, a steering committee drove the research and evaluated the results.
