USHERette or ERI Max?
USHERette is aimed at residential buildings and smaller structures. If your building is one of the types covered by the DPWH earthquake recording instrumentation rules, such as buildings above 50 meters, hospitals, schools, or large commercial buildings, read our ERI guide and confirm the requirements with your Building Official before choosing an instrument.
