At the end of this session participants will be able to describe:

  • How the built environment contributes to climate change and the scale of the opportunity within the built environment.
  • Whole-life-carbon, why balancing embodied carbon with operational carbon is necessary, and the resources available to address whole-life-carbon in projects.
  • Resilience and adaptation, the different domains and scales of resilience-thinking in design, and resources available to support resilience-thinking.
  • Where to find key resources to support climate-resilient design foundations.

Module 3 - Making the Case for Change

Presenters: Todd Thexton, Graeme Bristol and Alanna Quock. 

At the end of this session participants will be able to describe:
