climate change resilient house
Resilient building design is becoming increasingly important as occurrence of extreme climate hazards increases. With this, a climate change resilient house can be built as an alternative to conventional construction of affordable housing.
CCRPH should be constructed at a low-cost, and must utilize climate adaptive and energy efficient appliances/devices. It is commonly built using environment-friendly construction technologies with specific advantages which reduces number of building parts (thereby saving cost), improving natural ventilation (e.g., cross ventilation), and natural illumination.

Having a stable, decent-quality and affordable housing can be achievable for economic class. This could made possible through the use of efficient planning and project management, low-cost materials, economical construction technologies and utilization of construction methods available. These methods can decrease the construction cost and make low cost housing accessible to all.

passive survivability of buildings
Passive survivability refers to the building’s ability to maintain livable conditions even if sources such as electricity, water or heating fuel are cut off. It aims to limit dangerous impact of power outages through vital life-support conditions such as air conditioning, heating, water, and sewage systems if a certain building loses essential services for a period of time.
Attaining passive survavibility is also associated with implementation of energy conservation or sustainable design measures in buildings. More so, passive building principles can be used to improve passive survivability in a resilient building.

reflection:
The last module discussed the principles behind a climate change resilient house (CCRPH). The module helped me to gain lots of knowledge on how consider different factors in achieving a high performance home. Knowing that having a climate change resilient home will offer improved security to the occupants, it also offers a wide range of key design objectives, which includes aesthetics, cost, functionality, and overall environmental performance of the home. Aside from conserving energy and water, I believe that selecting the appropriate materials, improving durability and structural integrity, and ennsuring acoustical comfort of home are some of the attributes that are also considered as highly significant in a resilient building. Lastly, I learned that passive survivability can be achieved by incorporating the sustainable design features that are typically observed in a green building such as cooling-load avoidance strategies, capabilities for natural ventilation, a highly efficient thermal envelope, passive solar gain, and natural daylighting.
