Changing climate conditions, including increases in temperature and precipitation, may increase the likelihood of climate hazard events including hurricanes and tropical storms, flooding, severe storms, winter storms, wildfire, sea level rise, heat waves, and pest infestations. This first of a two part course, aims to give an overview of climate resilience strategies, while also providing links and references that would allow participants to dig deeper and access more specific information.
Build resilience with the new webinar series Adapting Buildings for a Changing Climate!
Join the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning Resilient Buildings Lab, in work contracted for and sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), for a series of webinars focused on understanding the impacts climate change has on the State’s building sector.
This course builds on the work of the original 2011 ClimAID report published by NYSERDA and its corresponding update released in 2014.2. The analysis presented here adds to the growing body of knowledge about adapting buildings for a changing climate. Furthermore, by exclusively addressing the economic impacts on New York’s building sector, this assessment fills a critical gap in the previous ClimAID reports.
