Thermal Resilience as a Retrofit Metric
This session will discuss thermal resilience as a benefit of passive building strategies, and its impact on occupant safety during an outage situation. The session will explore modeling methods to determine how the building will “float” during an outage, and discuss how keeping occupants safe and the space habitable during an outage can be used as a retrofit design metric.
