Workgroup Scope and Purpose

The scope of work and purpose of the Fenestration Water Resistance Workgroup is to evaluate the Florida Building Code “the Code” requirements relating to design and testing of exterior envelop and fenestration and to determine (1) Whether the Code requirements should be modified to provide better resistance to water intrusion during high wind events, and/or (2) Whether installation/maintenance of fenestration as well as the installation of building envelop in general is suspect and should be better defined and more effectively monitored. In addition, the WG is to formulate a proposed code change language/recommendation for addressing water leakage due to wind-driven rain.
