Enhancing the Built Environment Resilience: Integrating the MULTICLIMACT CREMA Tool, Sensing and Digital Solutions for Building Protection and Occupants' Well-Being Assessment

As climate conditions worsen and extreme events become more frequent, it is urgent to design, retrofit, and plan for the built environment resilience to present and future risks. Too often, the built environment is a source of vulnerability rather than a safe heaven. Therefore, mitigation and adaptation strategies must focus on resilience in both the built environment and human well-being. The MULTICLIMACT project (GA n. 101123538) aims to develop a mainstream framework and tool to help public and private stakeholders assess resilience across multiple scales (buildings, urban areas, territories), addressing local natural and climate hazards. It also supports enhancing preparedness and responsiveness throughout the built environment lifecycle, integrating aspects like human wellbeing, health, and quality of life into the analysis. This paper explores the application of MULTICLIMACT strategies through the CREMA tool, focusing on resilience at the building scale, while also considering the broader urban and territorial scales. Key parameters are identified for evaluating the resilience of the building-occupant ecosystem. Integration of CREMA with local data from the Camerino demo site provides insights into resilience performance across different hazard scenarios. This case study highlights the role of integrated tools in supporting adaptive and resilient building design and operations.
