Understanding resilience and its applicability to the UBC building context

Improving the resiliency, health, and adaptability of the UBC community is a key goal of the UBC Green Building Action Plan (GBAP).  This study explores the feasibility of using a resiliency-focused building standard in the UBC context. The report explores the concept of  resilience  as it has been adopted by various organizations around the world, reviews the recently developed RELi rating system for resilient design and construction, and identifies gaps and opportunities for UBC campus development.
