Glass and Glazing Damage from Natural Disasters

A building envelope has many components that work together to protect the structure and inhabitants. For this class, let us discuss this essential building envelope component… Windows and Doors. Windows are a complex system of multiple interdependent parts. When acted upon during a natural disaster, Windows present a specific damage profile that must be analysed, documented, and understood in order to properly restore a structure to its pre loss condition.

About Ivan Browner

Ivan Browner (President) - has been instrumental in the creation, growth, and evolution of TSSA Storm Safe DAC Inc. Mr. Browner’s vision was to create a repeatable inspection model based on both academic knowledge and real-world experience for the purpose of investigating glazing system damage and envelope of protection failure. This inspection model would become a powerful tool to document system damages, stress, and failure in both commercial structures and residential dwellings in an active HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone.) Drawing from experience that ranges from product specification, specimen knowledge, system sales, system installation, structural testing, and glazed system damage assessment; Mr. Browner brings to the team an extensive and ongoing technical, academic, and hands-on knowledge base from all facets of the Glazing Industry.
