Resilient Communities Need Resilient Buildings
Most people lack reliable information about how disasters will affect the buildings in which they live and work.
Our vision is a world where we have a low impact on the environment, AND the environment has a low impact on us.
We are guided by our E4 principle: Engineering in the service of Equity, the Environment and our Economy.
The USRC is the leader in complementing green design with rating systems that measure resilient design, to achieve sustainability.
