HVAC, DHW on Roof Apartments Above Parking Passive House Envelope Design Backup LED Lights, Cell Phone Charging 8’ + 5’ = 13’ BFE = 8’ Conditioned Community Resilience Space Backflow Prevention Generator with 72-hour Runtime Stormwater Storage and Infiltration New Ecology, Inc. | Boston/Hartford/Providence/Baltimore/Wilmington | Community-Based Sustainable Development

  26. Communities, Governments, Institutions, and Insurance • Community Vulnerability Assessments and Plans • Civil Engineering – Stormwater System Design – Stormwater Capacity Analysis • GIS Data (Can potentially map using existing GIS layers) • Building Elevation Relative to Flood Heights Elevation Certificate – • Climate Modeling – Temperature – Precipitation and Stormwater Flooding – Sea Level Rise – Storm Surge Flooding New Ecology, Inc. | Boston/Hartford/Providence/Baltimore/Wilmington | Community-Based Sustainable Development

  27. Community Resiliency A T A Two-Pronged onged Ap Approach ach • Community Vulnerability and Risk Assessment • Community-Level Measures Building Vulnerability and Risk • Assessments • Building-Level Measures New Ecology, Inc. | Boston/Hartford/Providence/Baltimore/Wilmington | Community-Based Sustainable Development

Binghamton, NY (1 Development) Cambridge, MA and Statewide (7 Developments) New York, NY Stamford, CT and Statewide (100 Developments) (5 Buildings) Washington, DC Long Island, NY (20 Developments) (4 Developments) New Ecology, Inc. | Boston/Hartford/Providence/Baltimore/Wilmington | Community-Based Sustainable Development

  29. Take Home Message Changing conditions requires changing buildings (and communities). Hazards should be identified and interventions prioritized. Building- and community-level resilience work best together. New Ecology, Inc. | Boston/Hartford/Providence/Baltimore/Wilmington | Community-Based Sustainable Development
