In today’s complex design and construction environment, disputes will occur. Often the difference between success The practice of architecture and engineering in the 21st century can be forbidding. Today’s increasingly complicated and uncertain landscape includes climate change, aging infrastructure, pandemics, and a host of other manmade and natural phenomena. The importance of incorporating adaptation strategies and anticipating extreme weather events are just two areas that are shaping the standard of care for design professionals. Through instruction and actual case examples, this webinar offers valuable insights on applying the principles of resilient design for buildings that are able to withstand extreme weather and remain habitable, infrastructure that supports a sustainable ecosystem, and community design that manages stormwater and mitigates wildfire. Participants will learn strategies for facility planning, HVAC, and other design considerations in the post-Covid-19 built environment, and best practices for performing adjacent structure-design, structural condition assessments, and other inspections.

In this webinar, you’ll:

• Understand the purpose of resilient design, its components, and its particular importance to the A/E community in designing the built environment
• Analyze how issues involving climate change are likely to affect the responsibilities and obligations of designers to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public: and gain strategies to assess a project’s present conditions, evaluate the sufficiency of existing codes, and promote resilient design when defining project criteria
• Examine resilience in the context of public health emergencies that impact design and the built environment, including creating safe, post-pandemic spaces
• Assess potential impact on public safety and adjacent structures and how to navigate liability issues that may arise from construction projects you design: and learn strategies to perform structural condition assessments and other inspection services
• And more…
