| Most buildings depend on a continuous supply of heating or cooling to maintain comfort and safety for building occupants. However, extreme weather and other adverse events can disrupt a building's indoor environmental quality if the power goes out or fuel runs low. | 大多数建筑依赖于持续的供暖或制冷供应来维持使用者的舒适和安全。然而，当停电或燃料不足时，极端天气和其他不利事件可能会破坏建筑的室内环境质量。 |
| Green Building Strategies | 绿色建筑策略 |
| Green buildings are designed to provide safe environments even during power outages and other disruptions by striving for passive survivability, which is a building's ability to maintain critical life-support conditions if services such as power, heating fuel, or water are lost. | 绿色建筑通过追求被动生存能力（passive survivability）来设计，即使在停电和其他中断情况下也能提供安全环境。被动生存能力是指建筑在电力、供热燃料或水等供应中断时维持关键生命支持条件的能力。 |
| Strategies include: | 策略包括： |
| • Having a high-performance building envelope with enough insulation and interior thermal mass to stay comfortable long after the HVAC goes off | • 拥有高性能的建筑围护结构，具有足够的保温性和内部热质量，在暖通空调关闭后仍能长时间保持舒适 |
| • Being designed to benefit from solar heat gain during the winter to stay warm longer | • 设计利用冬季太阳能得热以保持更长时间的温暖 |
| • Controlling solar heat gain during the summer with exterior shading devices and high-performance windows to avoid overheating | • 在夏季使用外部遮阳装置和高性能窗户控制太阳能得热以避免过热 |
| • Relying on operable windows to provide natural ventilation when conditions permit | • 在条件允许的情况下依靠可开启的窗户提供自然通风 |
| • Installing composting toilets that can work without water | • 安装无需用水的堆肥厕所 |
| • Stocking non-perishable food for consumption during an extended power outage | • 储备不易腐坏的食物以供长时间停电期间食用 |
| Even beyond power outages, project teams still need to be prepared to respond to outside forces. This includes monitoring air sensor data closely when outdoor air quality is poor (e.g., when a wildfire is in the region) to enable a faster response. Having plans and supplies in place is crucial to protect building occupants. | 即使在停电之外，项目团队仍需要准备应对外部力量。这包括在室外空气质量较差时（例如当该地区发生野火时）密切监测空气传感器数据，以便更快地做出响应。制定计划和储备物资对于保护建筑使用者至关重要。 |
| Example strategies when outdoor air quality is poor: | 室外空气质量较差时的策略示例： |
| • Installing higher-rated air filters | • 安装更高等级的空气过滤器 |
| • Changing filters more often | • 更加频繁地更换过滤器 |
| • Adding air-cleaning devices to indoor spaces | • 在室内空间增加空气净化设备 |
