COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Despite promises to reduce emissions, the fact is our planet is warming. The UN has recorded 1.1°C of warming and the impact of this heating is already being felt. In Ontario, we’ve seen extreme weather events causing wildfires and cities to alternately swelter and flood. We, as architects, need to design for the new normal - a world that is 1°C and will be 2°C to 4°C warmer. This talk will not only address how we can design for resiliency in the face of more extreme weather but also how resilience measures can also reduce the carbon emitted during building construction and operation. Creating a win-win, of more resilient buildings that are also climate positive. The focus is on healthcare facilities as these are both critical infrastructure, that must weather the most extreme climatic events, but also as these projects are necessarily carbon-intensive. Even though our thinking on this originated in healthcare facility design, the lessons learned can be implemented widely across varied project types. The presentation, will cover leveraging cutting-edge computer climate models, computational design, and rediscovering age-old approaches that can keep our buildings and communities comfortable and safe in an uncertain climate.
