More about this course
- How can real estate and buildings become more responsive to climate risk and other challenges to our communities? The greening of buildings has grown exponentially over the past decade, but is the transition fast enough to meet the needs of our communities in the dynamic times ahead? Can urban resilience become an intrinsic dimension of real estate development to mitigate widespread disruptions caused by climate change? The built environment of our communities creates energy and material utilization patterns and subsequent ecological effects
- Climate change challenges existing buildings and infrastructure, which has led to new policies and professional responses for adaptation and regeneration
- Building design and location are a critical determinant of wellness, comfort, and productivity for occupants
- This course introduces students to the principles of sustainability and resilience in our communities with a focus on systems dynamics
