This document serves as a technical note to accompany the report “High-wind design of new woodframe houses has an average benefit-cost ratio of 6:1 in Canada” by K. Porter (2023). This technical note explores challenges and opportunities associated with adopting enhanced high-wind protection measures for National Building Code (NBC) Part 9 buildings in Canada and makes recommendations to enhance uptake of high-wind protection interventions. This assessment relies largely on key informant interviews, supplemented with reviews of recent literature focused on practical adoption of high-wind risk reduction practices.
