Community resilience is the sustained ability of a community to use available resources to respond to, to withstand, and to recover from adverse situations. Community resilience is dependent on the ability of the community network of individual assets to communicate and act in a coordination fashion. The expected role of building automation platforms is growing in resilient communities to include integration of diverse smart systems as well as central management from a remote command and control interface. This seminar will highlight the approaches of some campuses and cities in their utilization of building automation for community resilience.
