Climate change poses significant risks to Canadian infrastructure, prompting the Government of Canada to enhance community preparedness and assess federal assets. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) commissioned AECOM to conduct a Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRiVA) on the Government of Canada Building (GoCB) in Moncton, New Brunswick, using the PIEVC Protocol. The assessment evaluated the building’s components—including foundation, roof, mechanical systems, and utilities—covering time horizons from historical (1991–2020) to future climate scenarios (2041–2070 and 2071–2100) based on the … Read more “Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRiVA) : Government of Canada Building – Moncton (NB)”
