Scope

1.1 General

This Standard covers bird-friendly building design in both new construction and existing buildings and is intended to reduce bird collisions with buildings. The Standard provides bird-friendly design requirements for glazing, building-integrated structures, and overall building and site design.

1.2 Exclusions

This Standard considers design aspects of glazing, buildings, and sites only from the point of view of bird strikes. Other standards and codes make recommendations regarding building characteristics that are not addressed in this Standard (e.g., energy efficiency, building occupant comfort, glazing safety). Certification procedures are not part of this Standard.
