Scott Buescher resides in Melbourne, Florida, and oversees operations at Mercedes Homes and Vintage Estate Homes as the COO of the home construction company. The co-founder of the award-winning organization, Scott Buescher has grown the company to become the 15th largest homebuilder in America. While serving with the organization, Mr. Buescher led innovation initiatives in partnership with the University of Florida to develop hurricane-resistant building technology. Using specific building materials and construction methods can help to spare communities from the destruction caused by hurricanes. New roof attachment techniques designed to resist wind can strengthen the roofs of homes, as can using spray foam adhesives on the inside of roofs. Metal connectors also help to make homes more stable and can be used to connect all framing components of the home from the foundation up to the roof. To manage the flooding often caused by hurricanes, hydrostatic vents can be placed into homes to permit water to escape through the vent and prevent floodwaters from accumulating and causing degradation to the foundation and walls. Bendable glass is also being considered by researchers at McGill University for hurricane-proofing homes, since it offers the benefit of bending without shattering due to engraved micro-fissures in its surface. This type of glass prevents fractures from spreading and is 200 times stronger than regular glass.
