Build Change / ISAC-SIMO

Strengthening Homes Against Climate Disasters

Problem

Millions of homes in vulnerable regions are built without adequate structural safety standards, leaving communities exposed to earthquakes, floods, and extreme weather.


Solution

In partnership with Build Change, the ISAC-SIMO platform uses AI-powered mobile computer vision to help engineers and inspectors detect structural risks in buildings before disasters strike.


Impact

• Deployed in Nepal and Colombia

• Used by engineers and building inspectors to evaluate structural safety

• Released as an open-source platform through the Linux Foundation
