Danfoss, Penn State University Publish Report on Building Resilience and Sustainability
BALTIMORE — Danfoss published a report exploring the path to building resilience. The report, which was developed in conjunction with Pennsylvania State University’s Architectural Engineering Department, explores the resilience challenge and its intersection with energy efficiency, in the context of an overarching demand for sustainability.
According to the report, the forms of the resilience challenge are potentially diverse — including climate change, disease pandemics, economic fluctuations, and terrorism. And communities, specifically urban areas that are expected to house nearly 70 percent of the earth’s population by 2050, were not designed to handle the impacts.
