SECT. 201.2.1.2 - PROTECTION OF
OPENINGS IN WINDBORNE
DEBRIS REGIONS

Protection of Openings in Windbome Debris Regions
In the 2006 Edition of the Residential Code for One-and Two-Family Dwellings, Section
301.2.1.2 addresses protection of openings in windbome debris regions. Based on the code
definition, our entire city will be considered a windbome debris region, since our basic wind
speed will be going from 115 mph to 120 mph with the adoption of the new code.
The section requires that builders of new residential structures provide pre-cut, wood
structural panels (minimum 7/16" and maximum 8' span) for attachment to framing of
openings. In addition, this section also requires the builder to provide the attachment
hardware for said panels. For the Board's convenience, we have included the definition, code
section and "an example" of attachment hardware (plylox Hurricane Window Clips).
Staff reviewed the code requirement and discussed plan review, inspection checklist changes
and field inspection procedural changes for implementation. We estimate cost impact to the
builder of$I,500 but believe the code requirement to be a positive one. Implementation could
occur as follows:
. Development of an Informational Handout for builders/citizens.
. Amend job inspection checklist form to require confirmation that the proper number
of wood panels and panel clips are on the lob site prior to the release of electricity.
If the Board feels leaving this requirement in place is appropriate, the requirement would
simply be implemented along with the code adoption. If the Board feels the extra requirement
is not warranted, this section would need to be deleted from the code at the time of adoption.
We would appreciate a recommendation from the Board.

R301.2.1.4 Exposure category. For each wind direction
considered, an exposure category that adequately
reflects the characteristics of ground surface irregulari-
ties shall be determined for the site at which the building
or structure is to be constructed. For a site located in the
transition zone between categories, the category result-
ing in the largest wind forces shall apply. Account shall
be taken of variations in ground surface roughness that
arise from natural topography and vegetation as well as
from constructed features. For any given wind direction,
the exposure in which a specific building or other struc-
ture is sited shall be assessed as being one of the follow-
ing categories:
1. Exposure A. Large city centers with at least 50 per-
cent of the buildings having a height in excess of
70 feet (21336 nun). Use of this exposure category
shall be limited to those areas for which terrain
representative of Exposure A prevails in the
upwind direction for a distance of at least 0.5 mile
(0.8 Ian) or 10 times the height of the building or
other structure, whichever is greater. Possible
channeling effects or increased velocity pressures
due to the building or structure being located in the
wake of adjacent buildings shall be taken into
account.
2. Exposure B. Urban and suburban areas, wooded
areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced
obstructions having the size of single-family dwell-
ings or larger. Exposure B shall be assumed unless
the site meets the definition of another type expo-
sure.
3. Exposure C. Open terrain with scattered obstruc-
tions, including surface undulations or other irreg-
ularities, having heights generally less than 30 feet
(9144 nun) extending more than 1,500 feet (457
m) from the building site in any quadrant. This
exposure shall also apply to any building located
within Exposure B type terrain where the building
is directly adjacent. to open areas of Exposure C
type terrain in any quadrant for a distance of more
than 600 feet (183 m). This category includes flat
open country, grasslands and shorelines in hurri-
cane prone regions.
4. Exposure D. Flat, unobstructed areas exposed to
wind flowing over open water (excluding shore-
lines in hurricane prone regions) for a distance of
at least 1 mile (1.61 Ian). Shorelines in Exposure D
include inland waterways, the Great Lakes and
coastal areas of California, Oregon, Washington
and Alaska. This exposure shall apply only to
those buildings and other structures exposed to the
wind coming from over the water. Exposure D
extends inland from the shoreline a distance of
1,500 feet (457 m) or 10 times the height of the
building or structure, whichever is greater.
R301.2.2 Seismic provisions. The seismic provisions of this
code shall apply to buildings constructed in Seismic Design
Categories C, Do, DI and D2, as determined in accordance
with this section. Buildings in Seismic Design Category E
shall be designed in accordance with the International Build-
ing Code, except when the seismic design category is reclas-
sified to a lower seismic design category in accordance with
Section R301.2.2.1.
Exception: Detached one- and two-family dwellings
located in Seismic Design Category C are exempt from
the seismic requirements of this code.
The weight and irregularity limitations of Section
R301.2.2.2 shall apply to buildings in all seismic design
categories regulated by the seismic provisions of this code.
Buildings in Seismic Design Category C shall be con-
structed in accordance with the additional requirements of

PL YLOXTM Hurricane Window Clips
PL YLOXTM window clips are the ingenious, inexpensive, non-destructive way to protect your windows from high winds and
airborne debris. Installed in seconds, PL YLOXTM window clips slide onto the edge of a 1/2" plywood sheet which is then easily
inserted into the exterior window casings of your home or business. No drilling holes. After protecting your home or business from
high winds and flying debris, the plywood can be removed in seconds without tools.
What Are PL YLOXTM?
PL YLOXTM window clips are patented h-shaped carbon steel
clips engineered to fit 1/2" plywood without nails, screws or
adhesives. There is no longer any need to drill holes in brick in
order to windows from storm damage.
We also now have a PLYLOXTM clip specifically
designed for commercial buildings.
It is just as effective, just as convenient and just as
vital as our residential clip.
Click on images for Larger View
How do PL YLOXTM window Clips work?
Head-on gusts of wind will hold covers in place no matter how they are mounted. But wind blowing across the face of the plywood
generates lift that can pull the cover out of the casing. PL YLOX window clips transfer the outward force of the lift through their
tension legs. This transfer of energy forces the clip against the casing and holds the cover securely in place in the worst possible
conditions.

Where can I find PL YLOXTMwindow clips?
PL YLOXTM is now available at these fine hardware and lumber stores.
