Lynn Miller, PGT Innovations code compliance manager, was recently appointed as Chairman of the American Society for Testing and Materials impact-resistance task group.
The group is tasked with overseeing the development of the ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards, which are global standards that set the criteria for performance of exterior windows, curtain walls, doors and impact protective systems impacted by windborne debris in hurricanes.
The ASTM E1886/E1996 standards are adopted by the International Building Code, International Residential Code, Florida Building Code, and many other codes worldwide.
“I am truly honored to have been chosen as chairman of this esteemed task group,” says Miller. “I look forward to working with the other task group members as we continuously strive to refine these standards for building envelope products to better protect our citizens and buildings from the destructive forces of hurricanes.”
Miller joined PGT Innovations in 2010. In his current role, he oversees the preparation of all PGTI product certification documents, including structural calculations, test planning and verification of testing protocols. He also provides project-specific engineering services for PGTI products.
“We are incredibly proud of Lynn's appointment to this ASTM task group that is critical to the development of the impact standards which help protect individuals and secure buildings across the United States," says Jeff Jackson, president and CEO of PGT Innovations. "At PGT Innovations, we are fortunate to have a number of our team members extend their talents for the improvement of the fenestration industry and to continue innovating to create stronger, safer buildings and homes.”
Miller holds a master’s and bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of South Florida and is a registered professional engineer in Florida and Texas. He is a voting member of the ASCE 7-22 wind load subcommittee and is actively involved in various fenestration task groups at ASTM and FGIA. He also serves as president of the Southeast Region of FGIA.
