Morning Education Session:
Perspectives for Resilient Design in Commercial Buildings when Facing Climate Change
Climate change is drastically impacting how buildings of the future must be designed and constructed. We are experiencing hotter/ colder extremes, an increase in tornadoes/ flooding, a record number of forest fires and unforeseen weather patterns. This presentation will cover such topic areas as:
-
Roof design to withstand high wind events, rapid downpour, brighter and much warmer days
-
Cladding types that will work with climate change
-
Mechanical filters and scrubbers to address forest fire smoke ingress
-
Other things to keep in mind when building for the future
