Bat-ADAPT

Creator: OID (Observatoire de l'immobilier durable)

Type of methodology: Web based tool

Approach type: CRR (Climate Resilience Rating)

Short description: Web-based tool

URL to access information about the tool: https://www.resilience-for-real-estate.com/en

Hazards covered: Coastal floodings

Audiences: Architects and engineers

Assessment level: Building

Evaluation system:

Exposure: 0-100% rating and colour coding

Sensitivity: High/Medium/Low and colour coding (green/orange/red)

Vulnerability: 5 bars histogram

Strengths:

Easy to use
Provides rating of different aspects of vulnerability, also based on adaptation measures implemented
Provides suggestions for adaptation options
Differentiated assessments based on different time-horizons

Limits:

Focus on rating risk more than rating resilience*

*Bat-ADAPT is going to be updated in June 2023 with a stronger focus on assessing resilience of the building and adaptation measures that can be implemented thereof.

The tool allows the user to perform an assessment of climate vulnerability of a building based on the assessment of exposure and sensitivity factors.

It consists of 3 phases:

Phase 1 - Assessment of exposure
Phase 2 - Sensitivity assessment
Phase 3 - Vulnerability analysis Based on all the specifications provided by the user, the tool provides a synthesis of the results in a fiche.

The fiche presents an assessment of: exposure of the location; sensitivity of the building and each of the building elements (for each of the hazards identified); vulnerability of the building for each of the hazards identified, with a grading (over 5).

The fiche also includes a list of proposed adaptation measures for each of the hazards.
