WEBINAR: Resilience is the New Sustainability
Over the past two decades, sustainability has been a growing trend in construction. For most consumers, this has primarily meant “green design.” Witnessing the effects of intensifying weather and natural disasters, owners, developers, insurers, lenders, tenants and communities are realizing that true sustainability is not just about having a low impact on the environment.
Join Evan Reis as he presents on how green and resilient design works towards long term sustainable communities, institutions and businesses, and how building stakeholders are employing resilience based design to:
- understand and improve the performance of building stock;
- improve overall community resilience, in particular of vulnerable populations; and
- collaborate with the public and private sector to incentivize investments in resilience.
