Development of building continuity support system as building management system for business continuity: Fundamental research on implementation of resilient buildings

Resilience of buildings will be improved by revising the methods of building management. This paper discusses the development of a new building management system for continuance of important operations. In the early stages after a disaster, it is important to judge what has happened, what are the actual conditions, whether important operation spaces can be used, what are the causes of malfunctions, what to do to achieve continuity of function and early restoration of function. This report presents a methodology to support the process of confirming the actual conditions, judgment, adjustment, and action systematically, for the building manager.
