Severe weather events are increasing in number and intensity, impacting construction of all kinds. Self-storage design is ever evolving, in part to keep up with new buildings codes that aim to improve structure integrity, safety and strength. Some strategies aren’t dictated by code but are recognized as significant by the insurance industry. Our presenter will discuss the changes impacting self-storage buildings and share ways to make them more resilient.

You’ll learn:

The climate shifts that are occurring and how they’re impacting construction today
How and why this impact is likely to intensify in the years ahead
How strong winds and increased rain, sleet and hail are driving changes in building codes
Effective measures that can help your structure perform well under adverse conditions
Additional design and construction strategies for overall stronger buildings
