Building Beyond Compliance: Why Code-Minimum Design Falls Short of True Resilience

Building codes establish a foundation for safety by setting minimum requirements for structural strength, fire protection, and life safety. Meeting these requirements, however, does not guarantee that a building will continue to function during or after a disruption.

Hurricanes are stronger, wildfires are spreading farther, heat waves are lasting longer, and power outages are affecting more communities.
