REDi Rating system resilience-based earthquake design initiative for the next generation of buildings

The Resilience-based Earthquake Design Initiative (REDi™) Rating System, developed by Arup's Advanced Technology and Research team, proposes a framework for owners, architects, and engineers to implement “resilience-based earthquake design”.

It describes design and planning criteria to enable owners to resume business operations and provide liveable conditions quickly after an earthquake, according to their desired resilience objectives. It also presents a loss evaluation methodology for assessing the success of the adopted design and planning measures in meeting the resilience objectives.
