What is the ROI for seismic resilience?

Why should public housing developments consider beyond-code designs in a seismic zone? Kinetica Risk has recently completed a pilot study supported by the BC Housing Building Excellence program, which takes a look on better quantifying the cost and benefits of resilient residential constructions using multiple financial, environmental and social metrics. This pilot provides a quick guide for decision-makers to plan for housing developments that better balance resource constraints and societal well-being.
