Canada's diverse geography and climate impacts our exposure to natural hazards, such as tornadoes and cyclones. This is further aggravated due to aging infrastructure, population growth and climate change. To maintain the safety and prosperity of our communities, it is vital to develop a comprehensive framework to assess and mitigate the impact of extreme climate on the built environment. In this research, novel numerical and large-scale experimental approaches that enable community-level wind performance assessments will be developed. This unique approach considers aerodynamics for progressive failure and the interdependence of cladding, structural system, individual buildings, and neighborhoods. The assessment outcome will inform the next generation of building codes and standards. Thus, enhancing the resiliency of our communities in relation to extreme climate.

加拿大多样化的地理和气候影响了我们对自然灾害的暴露， 例如龙卷风和旋风。由于基础设施老化、人口增长和气候变化，这一问题进一步加剧。为了维护我们社区的安全和繁荣，制定一个全面的框架来评估和减轻极端气候对建筑环境的影响至关重要。在这项研究中，将开发新的数值和大规模的实验方法，使社区一级的风性能评估。这种独特的方法考虑了渐进失效的空气动力学以及覆层、结构系统、单个建筑物和社区的相互依赖性。评估结果将为下一代建筑规范和标准提供信息。因此，加强我们社区对极端气候的适应能力。
