Description

This course dives into how to make buildings that can take a hit and keep functioning, whether the stress comes from extreme weather, wildfires, heat, or longer-term climate shifts. We explore how to translate climate and hazard risk into clear design moves: site and envelope strategies, passive survivability, backup and redundancy for critical systems, and realistic continuity-of-operations planning. Through case studies and simple exercises, participants practice choosing the right resilience measures for different building types and climates, and learn how to explain these choices in plain language to owners, communities, and reviewers. The course also connects resilience to health, equity, and decarbonization, showing how one well-chosen strategy can solve for multiple goals instead of creating new silos. A focused segment introduces how these resilience strategies align with emerging green building frameworks, including where they are recognized or incentivized in LEED v5. By the end, attendees will feel prepared to lead a grounded, practical resilience conversation, prioritize investments, and document a clear compliance path for their projects.
