Climate risk assessments are an important early step in identifying site-specific climate hazards and how those hazards may change over the lifespan of a building.
Resilience Master Planning goes beyond designing a single building, bridge, or infrastructure system and seeks to foster entire communities at different scales.
Emergency planning and preparedness may often come as an afterthought, but it is crucial to take a proactive approach that incorporates operations and maintenance considerations into early project stages.
Renewables or renewable energy sources are key to the energy transition, not only because they reduce our dependency on finite and high-GHG-emitting sources (i.e., fossil fuels), but also because they leverage clean, naturally derived sources that replenish at a higher rate than they are consumed.
A two-pronged approach of decarbonization and resilience can help combat climate change while dealing with today’s shocks and stresses more effectively.
