During normal operations, buildings can protect their occupants from outdoor hazards, including airborne pollutants. A long-term international research effort has advanced our knowledge of building protection physics. However, only recently has an operationally efficient, regional-scale methodology - called Regional Shelter Analysis (RSA) - become available to account for both building protection and the distribution of people within and among buildings.
