While greenhouse gas mitigation in buildings is being actively pursued to take action on climate change, recent extreme weather events have highlighted the equally important need for climate resilience. With a patchwork of climate resiliency requirements and guidelines issued by governments and others, a comprehensive approach is lacking. This session will provide an overview of the development of a consolidated Canadian training program for climate resilience in buildings, led by Engineers and Geoscientists BC in partnership with the Climate Risk … Read more “Development of a Climate Resilience Training Program for Building Sector Professionals”

Author adminPosted on
In early 2011, the University of Saskatchewan (U of S), in cooperation with Engineers Canada, embareked on a joint-funded project to assess the potential vulnerability of the Engineering Building to climate change. Associated Engineering (AE) was retained to conduct the ristk assessment and report on the impacts that future climate change may have on the existing engineering building as well as on a proposed building expansion. The objective of this study was to identify the components of the existing building … Read more “ASSESSMENT OF UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN CURRENT ENGINEERING BUILDING AND NEW ADDITION”
