WPC is researching and testing techniques focused on changing the aerodynamic properties of buildings and components in order to make them more resistant to damage from strong winds and wind-driven rain. AeroEdge™ is a particular aerodynamic retrofit technique that suppresses strong vortices along roof and wall edges and reduces wind effects on commercial and residential buildings. Over 70% of the damage during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons began on the roof. Protecting this critical portion of the building envelope will significantly reduce the damage and disruption of lives caused by hurricanes.
