Project information
Choose Quick for the standard-office defaults or Detailed to document project-specific resilience conditions.
Quick mode proposes Climate Resilience likelihood (D) from supported sources, impact (F) from the declared office profile and disruption tolerance, and matrix risk (H). The per-row explanation is in G; unsupported likelihood and risk stay open. Confirm all proposed priorities (I) with the project team.
Quick mode assumes a standard commercial office with a standard
envelope — prescriptive insulation, ordinary glazing, no
airtightness testing — plus no backup power, no on-site water storage,
ground-floor critical systems and a steel frame. If your project is a
data centre, hospital, lab, shelter, school or anything operating 24/7,
or has backup power or a hardened envelope, those assumptions will
change the result. Use Detailed for anything other than a
standard office.
Note that this tool does not look up the energy or building code in force at your address, and never rates a building relative to it. A “code minimum” envelope means very different things in Seattle and in Phoenix, so the Detailed questions ask what your assemblies are, not how they compare to local code.

Project profile
Every answer is optional — anything you skip
falls back to a documented default, and the workbook says which.
An operations decision, not a design one — confirm it with whoever runs the building. Backup capacity that outlasts this number is what turns a high-hazard row into a survivable one.
