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
