Table 2. Summary of tools proposed for building resilience evaluation.
E-index | I/O ratio | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Instantaneous | Cumulative (entire episode) | Instantaneous | Cumulative (entire episode) | |
Whole building | Monitor and inform building occupants of air pollutant exposure | Rank or benchmark buildings by occupant exposure relative to guideline exposure limits | Assess whole building interventions (e.g. AHU filter upgrades, changing controls, adjusting outdoor air intake or economizers) | Rank or benchmark buildings by ability to prevent infiltration/ penetration of outdoor pollutants. Predict building’s performance under various outdoor air pollution scenarios |
By space | Monitor and inform occupants of air pollutant exposure | Identify areas in a building with high potential occupant exposure | Assess zonal or room interventions (e.g. window operation, portable air filters, filter upgrades at the zone) | Rank or benchmark spaces |
