Resilience is a fundamental component of high-performance green building as climate conditions become more variable and extreme. Minnesotans are experiencing greater exposure to periods of wildfire and poor AQI, irregular periods of heavy rainfall and flooding, severe storms, heat stress, disappearing snow and drought, and other climate-related hazards that introduce new levels of uncertainty for building owners, occupants, and communities. Resilience is a critical risk-management strategy that supports long-term building performance, operational continuity, and asset durability.
