Design and development of the built environment, with sustainability in mind, can help mitigate climate change, support adaptation, and improve environmental and public health. The more resilient the built environment, the less it is impacted by climate change. This presentation demonstrates a five-step process that architecture and design firms can use to mitigate climate change risks from a physical and liability perspective. 听

The world is focused on Covid-19 at present, but the pandemic is just a dress rehearsal for the environmental challenges that lay ahead: the climate is warmer, weather events are more extreme, and infrastructure fails to perform as expected. If Covid-19 upended the economy and society, what will it be like when the world is at least 2掳C听 warmer? Thanks to Canadian research, we know the answers.听听
This presentation demonstrates a five-step process that architecture and design firms can use to mitigate climate change risks, from听听 physical and听 professional liability perspectives. The buildings designed and constructed in the next five years will still be around when the number of cooling degree days (CDD) has increased substantially. If professional firms don鈥檛 design for this new normal, our buildings will undermine the wellbeing of occupants and communities.听听
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognize climate change impacts Canadian municipalities will face, at the city and building level听听
- Identify tools and best practices for accurately assessing climate impacts and integrating these into the design practice听听
- Analyze the impact of climate change on buildings and the built environment, and identify a听 business case for building climate resilient buildings.听
-
Apply a risk management framework for mitigating risks on construction projects听
