Integrating Climate Change Data into Codes and Standards
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving relationship between climate change and building codes, equipping participants with the knowledge to integrate forward-looking climate data into U.S. building regulations.
This course explains how to integrate forward-looking climate data into U.S. building regulations, learning from experts about the latest tools, models, and best practices designed to enhance the resilience of buildings and infrastructure against intensifying climate risks such as floods, extreme heat, windstorms, and wildfires. The course covers key topics including an overview of climate risks and their impact on infrastructure resilience, an analysis of gaps in current U.S. building codes, and the use of climate models and data for future risk prediction. Also, it explores international case studies illustrating the integration of climate projections, practical strategies for developing resilient building codes, and methods for addressing climate-induced risks such as wind, snow, and flooding.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, architects, and policymakers engaged in infrastructure planning and risk management.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing yourself with the impact of climate change on the built environment.
- Analyzing climate projection data for effective integration into building codes.
- Identifying key gaps in current building codes that do not address future climate risks.
- Applying forward-looking climate information to the design of buildings and infrastructure.
- Recognizing the significance of collaboration between climate scientists and code developers.
- Evaluating case studies showcasing successful integration of climate data into building standards.
- Recommending policy changes aimed at enhancing climate resilience in building codes.
- Proposing solutions to improve collaboration among stakeholders for better climate-informed building standards.
