Contents

It is our responsibility as engineers to create buildings that are resilient to extreme events, both current and future ones. By attending this session, you will:

  • Find out how to manage flood risks, including managing risks to assets.
  • Understand the challenges of designing in extreme climates.
  • Obtain an overview of the UK Heatwave Plan and understand its implications

to building and urban design. This presentation will cover

  • How do we understand the climate?
  • Design for extreme climates
  • Resilience Assessment of existing buildings
