In 2020 there were 22 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths of 262 people, $95 billion in damage and significant economic effects on the areas impacted. Buildings account for a large percentage of the economic damage, and with the number of major disasters increasing, the impact on our building envelopes will multiply. This seminar includes presentations that discuss efforts underway to understand why our buildings are damaged during these events and what we are doing to try to reduce the impact.
