• The change to 10-year wind serviceability drift limits may impact the “governing” hazard for member sizing, depending on current office design practice.

• Is there any bias in an owner’s expectations of performance for wind versus seismic hazards?

• Performance objectives for wind and seismic design may not necessarily converge on a mutually optimized solution.
