A sustainable building is not only about energy use and occupant health. It's about resiliency. Buildings should be able to withstand what is thrown their way. Here in NH, it's snow. In California, it's earthquakes. On the coast, it's rising sea levels. In 2020, COVID-19 has exposed vulnerabilities and shortcomings.
As is always the case after disaster, it's time to improve. Fortunately, we know how, and we reached out to Governor Sununu last month to offer advice. There has been no word back yet.
