Researchers in the Improving the resilience of existing housing to severe wind events project are seeking the assistance of the construction industry to help them gather valuable data. They've designed a short survey to uncover how builders and others in the construction industry use the applicable Australian Standard, AS 1684, as well as the guidebook for updating older homes, SAA HB132.
The project is investigating typical residential construction retrofit practices related to upgrading existing housing stock for wind and water intrusion resistance for communities in Australia.
