Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are stronger than the conventional framing as well as affording energy efficiency, better indoor air quality and have better environmental responsibility benefits.

In the tropics, concrete will withstand the high winds, but it also absorbs the heat. It makes houses seem like ovens in those late afternoons of high temperatures. I’m not sure the energy efficient windows will withstand the winds or flying debris either. We’re making vast improvements in the construction materials for temperate zones, but don’t think we have the same innovative minds focusing their attention in the tropics or those US areas within the path of hurricanes (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, Louisiana, etc.)
