Titled “Climate Conscientiousness and Resilience: The Need for Integrated Building Solutions,” this 10th biennial conference will discuss the need for architects and engineers to plan for the expected and unexpected impacts of climate change while also collaboratively exploring the challenges, opportunities, solutions, and strategies of integrated design and construction to deliver low-carbon, hazard-resilient and adaptable buildings of the future.
As our climate continues to change at a rapid pace, the need for our buildings and infrastructure to be resilient and adaptable is imminent. The A|E|C industry must reevaluate our current standards of practice for designing, constructing and operating buildings to reduce building-related carbon emissions and minimize the negative impacts of climate-related hazards like hurricanes, floods and heat waves. Strategies for reducing the drivers of climate change and improving the resilience of the built environment will require collaboration among academia, engineers, businesses and technology innovators to implement integrated solutions into practice.
Join the conversation by sharing your technical expertise, research, or technology solutions with the dynamic mix of architectural engineers, consultants, architects, engineers, academics, design professionals, technology software companies, emerging leaders, students and other industry experts. Attendees can earn PDHs by attending outstanding technical sessions (over 30), visit exhibitors and vendors that offer technical solutions to help advance their organization, and watch the AEI Student Design Competition and the AEI Professional Project Award Presentations.
