Course Description: AEC Daily: Window and Door Security Solutions: Forced Entry, Storm, Blast, and Ballistic Protection
This course examines threats to window and door integrity in buildings, including forced entry, ballistic impact, storm debris, and blast pressure. It covers retrofit and replacement approaches that strengthen glazing systems, explains relevant testing protocols, and addresses misleading performance claims. The course concludes with guidance on how to assess existing conditions and specify solutions that support occupant safety, risk mitigation, and building resilience.
Assess existing vulnerabilities in windows and doors based on threat type and duration of impact or attack, with attention to occupant safety and risk reduction.
Distinguish between retrofit and replacement technologies that enhance the integrity of window and door assemblies to protect users under threat conditions.
Evaluate misleading or inaccurate claims related to window and door performance in impact or forced entry scenarios that may affect building safety or occupant protection.
Select appropriate security solutions to meet defined performance goals, such as access delay or denial, in support of safer built environments.
