Course Title: Designing for Climate Resilience

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines the current and anticipated effects of climate on structures and communities, the impact of sea level rise, temperature and changing weather patterns, and the impact of extreme weather events on structures and communities. It also explores how to adapt sites, outdoor spaces, new construction, and existing buildings to withstand extreme weather events.

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to discuss the current and anticipated changes in climate zones and weather patterns, rising sea levels, flooding, rising temperatures, and extreme weather events such as hurricanes.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to decribe how extreme weather events are impacting structures and communities, and they will be able to identify current actions that are being taken to mitigate these impacts on the built environment.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to describe how building sites and outdoor spaces can be adapted to withstand extreme weather events on the individual property, community and municipal-level.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to explain how new construction and retrofitted existing buildings can be designed to protect them from extreme weather events, and they will be able to discuss the importance of revising building codes to meet the challenge of extreme weather impacts on buildings.
