Designing for Resilience and Sustainability
New construction is a significant part of the global economy, and is at the same time, a major source of GHG emissions. How can we improve disaster resiliency in existing and new building stocks while limiting emissions? How do you balance competing goals between resiliency and sustainability? KR’s multi-disciplinary team of climate scientists and engineering experts can address these questions through our unique capability to streamline high-resolution hazard and risk modelling with detailed engineering design and environmental impacts assessment of climate and natural disasters.
Through multi-hazard risk analysis integrated in our proprietary platform, KR develops key environmental metrics such as embodied carbon, energy consumption and other emissions related to repair and recovery of damaged assets at both the portfolio level and the individual component level depending on project needs. This information can be readily combined with life-cycle analyses of buildings to optimize design from resilience and sustainability perspectives and enables builders and developers to create resilient proposals with solid business cases.
