Construction Specifications Canada Vancouver Chapter – Resilience for Existing Buildings in the Face of Climate Change

This session will provide background on the topic of Resilient Design. It will explain why resiliency is not a stand-alone subject, and that resiliency needs to be combined with energy performance and sustainability. The session will discuss the project elements that need to be understood as owners embark on a greater understanding of their existing building assets, from base line creation through to retrofit completion. We will also discuss options for financing retrofit projects and focus on project case studies that deal with Wildfire, Air Quality and Structural aspects relating to the need for appropriate resilient design measures.
