Building for Resilience: A New Disaster-Resistance Construction Tool in the Building America Solution Center

Wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, termites & beyond; today's builders have more to worry about than code inspectors, labor shortages, and lumber prices. Once a home is built, will it stand up to the elements? The U.S. Department of Energy is pulling together an impressive suite of construction guidance to help the building industry construct homes that are more disaster-resistant and resilient. This presentation will show you how to make the most of this new tool to make your next projects both energy efficient and disaster-resistant.
