Where Science Meets Design: Using Climate Projections in Portfolio and Land Use Planning
Current planning for real estate portfolios, governments, and campuses is informed by outdated, backward-looking weather data. A new process is emerging that brings the climate science, design and real estate communities together to use future-facing climate projections, providing sufficient detail to analyze the potential impacts of climate change on buildings, infrastructure, and communities. Using these projections can better meet the intended goals of building owners and stakeholders- including financial, decarbonization, and well-being-over the lifespan of each development. Join this session to explore how a collaborative team is developing and integrating higher quality climate data into planning processes for both private and public sector portfolios to thrive well into the future.
