Seminar 69 -- Am I Resilient? Using Building Energy Models to Assess the Resilience of Buildings and Communities

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

In order to design buildings and communities to be resilient, one has to assess the energy load requirements of those buildings and communities. In this seminar, speakers will discuss the use of building energy modeling to assess the resilience of buildings and communities for today and considering the effects of climate change.
