Resiliency guidelines that consider the "future state" of climate conditions in a given location will soon mandate design considerations that go far beyond building standards.
In this session, presenters will give their perspectives on risk mitigation and avoidance in association with resilient design. Join us to review the opportunities and obligations of the AEC community, with a heightened standard of care as a backdrop. Plus, explore useful tools for your practice, such as the AIA Climate Risk Factsheet, which offers a framework to help design professionals have informed discussions with project owners and other key stakeholders.
Learning Objectives
- Describe how resilient design strategies can address the future impacts of climate change and extreme weather events to protect occupant safety and building longevity.
- Examine the integrated collaboration between architects, engineers, and risk management professionals in mitigating climate-related risks.
- Identify emerging tools that are affordable one stop shop for a view into multiple projected climate perils on a project site that consider best and worst case scenarios.
- Evaluate existing legal case studies to emphasize the need for the AEC community to start the conversation before any scope and budget is set for new design projects.
