This webinar is part of the RAIC 2025 Conference on Architecture!

Are you designing buildings that will be ready for a changing climate? Are you looking for data and information to support building design? Join us to learn about the building-related data and tools available on ClimateData.ca and Portraits Climatiques. Discover how these tools can be applied in working with your peers, engineers, planners and more.  Presented by the Canadian Centre for Climate Service and Ouranos.

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Identify building related climate-data and select information to use in their building design projects 

  • Articulate climate and adaptation questions with climate service providers and peers. 

  • Identify where to find additional information about the data to support its use (e.g. blogs and LZ content). 

  • Implement climate services available to support their current and future work.
