Danfoss, Baltimore, Md., published a report exploring the path to building resilience. The report, developed in conjunction with The Pennsylvania State University’s Architectural Engineering Department, State College, Pa., explores the resilience challenge and its intersection with energy efficiency in the context of an overarching demand for sustainability.
According to the report, the forms of the resilience challenge are potentially diverse, including climate change, disease pandemics, economic fluctuations and terrorism. And, communities, specifically urban areas that are expected to house nearly 70% of the earth’s population by 2050, were not designed to handle the impacts.
