ETA 2021 Strategic Plan - Flipbook - Page 16
Milestones
SHORT TERM (6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS)
• Develop a suite of complementary metrics to quantify resilience for individual buildings and
their interfaces with transit corridors, as well as aggregates at the community scale.
• Design networks to monitor, track, and evaluate the resilience of real-world infrastructure and
implement one or two early instances.
• Pursue coupled environmental-infrastructure models for one or two multi-stressors + resilience
solution scenarios.
• Develop a prioritized resilience technology and materials development agenda and launch nearterm activities.
Within a two-year time frame, we will demonstrate an integrated yet modular platform of
measurement, modeling, and technology solutions that can be hardened for transition from
laboratory development into real-world testing environments.
MEDIUM TERM (3 TO 5 YEARS)
• Develop new sensors and incorporate them into the design of expanded monitoring networks.
• Verify the ability to predict the impact of location-relevant stressors on infrastructure, and
characterize limits.
• Apply and evaluate retrofit packages for resilience based on current state-of-the-art
technologies in ~10 real buildings in different region-stressor contexts.
• Use validated models in at least three cities to assess and value community-wide infrastructure
resilience, to support resilience planning.
Within a five-year time horizon, we will integrate technology and modeling solutions and work with
partners to apply and evaluate them their applications.
LONG TERM (5 YEARS AND BEYOND)
• Integrate methods to value resilience into reference/model codes and policy “templates.”
• Make trustworthy simulation tools available to inform infrastructure design, operation, and
community response.
• Make commoditized resilience solution sets based on new and legacy materials and building
technology available for procurement.
• Routinely embed resilience measurement and monitoring networks into infrastructure and
integrate them for use as a “public utility.”
In the long term, we will have created viable, mature solutions for resilient infrastructure, as well as
the vehicles necessary to scale their adoption.
