As the construction industry faces increasing challenges from extreme weather and long-term climate impacts, design professionals are being called on to build with resilience in mind. This one-hour session will explore how architects, engineers, and risk professionals can move beyond code compliance and integrate forward-thinking strategies to strengthen buildings against future environmental threats. With a focus on collaboration, performance-based design, and lifecycle cost analysis, this webinar will offer valuable insights into how resilient design benefits both public welfare and project longevity.
Participants will explore how resilient design strategies can directly address the impacts of climate change, while gaining a deeper understanding of the value of lifecycle cost analysis and the return on investment it offers. The session will also review emerging performance-based guidelines that are shaping the future of resilient design. Additionally, attendees will learn how architects, engineers, and risk managers can work collaboratively to create buildings that are not only safer but also more durable and sustainable over time.
