A Resilience Application Project Report
BIPS 10 /November 2011
This Technical Report describes a project performed by the National
Institute of Building Sciences (Institute) in partnership with the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to address High
Performance Based Design for the Building Enclosure (HPBDE). The
Institute convened an expert team to develop a method for analyzing
multiple performance objectives early in the project planning process.
This method allows building owners to optimize their investments in
building security, along with safety, energy conservation, environmental
footprint and durability, in addition to evaluating the resulting
risk and resilience of a proposed project. The model of performance
developed by the Project Team was integrated within an online software
program specifically focused on establishing Owner Performance
Requirements (OPR).The OPR Tool provides project planners with a
previously unavailable resource for selecting and documenting performance
goals for a project. This first-phase effort, limited to enclosure
systems for new office buildings, lays the technical foundation and software
framework for expanding the approach in later phases to address
retrofit of enclosure systems, as well as moving on to cover the whole
building and additional building types.
