Knowledge is Power: How Ratings Systems Deliver Resilience

“Knowledge is Power: How Rating Systems Deliver Resilience” To Be Topic of Resilience Advantage Webinar

Building Owners, Structural Engineers and Architects Are Using Rating Systems to Make Buildings More Resilient and Speed Recovery from Earthquakes

LOS ANGELES, CA – Restaurants, cars and many other products use rating systems to help consumers make smart choices.  Now, architects, structural engineers and property owners are working together to use new rating systems to predict how buildings will perform during earthquakes and how quickly they will recover from damage.

The complimentary program will be offered from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 16.

These ratings are enabling property owners to make better informed decisions about the degree of safety they want designed into their building, how quickly it should recover from damage, and how much this improved performance will cost initially and ultimately save.

Ratings are helping to make new buildings more earthquake resilient in California and around the globe.  Lessons on how these rating systems are being used will be examined during “The Resilience Advantage,” webinar on Wednesday, June 16 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
