Better Buildings Building Resilience Resources & Tools

March 8, 2021 By SBC staff

Resilience is increasingly important for Better Buildings partners and the broader marketplace. More than 80% of companies polled in the 2019 EEI survey rated resiliency as extremely or very important when making energy and building infrastructure investments. At last year’s Better Buildings Summit more than 950 attendees joined sessions on the topic of resilience.

To help you build on your energy efficiency improvements and increase your organization’s resilience by mitigating risks from natural disasters and other stressors, we created the Efficiency-Resilience Nexus.

Use the nexus to find solutions specific to your organization’s goals, whether you’re implementing new energy efficiency technologies, decreasing the energy demand on facilities, minimizing vulnerabilities to climate-related impacts, finding financing, or just deciding where to start.

RESOURCES FOR ALL STAGES OF IMPROVING RESILIENCE:

  • Learn about resilience.
  • Develop strategies to reduce natural disaster risks.
  • Work with utilities on demand response.
  • Improve resilience in your community.
  • Design more resilient buildings.
  • Finance resilience projects and use the Finance & Resilience Roadmap toolkit to guide improvements.
  • Explore proven, real-world solutions by Better Buildings partners.
  • Watch webinars addressing all aspects of improving resilience from partners who have implemented resilience plans.
