SAME Architectural Practice COI Webinar: Sustainability and Resiliency at Budget Driven Military Projects

About This Webinar

This webinar will define sustainability and resiliency, explaining the similarities and differences of each. We will examine how our buildings and structures can withstand and adapt to the increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather events when sustainability and resiliency are considered together in project design. Furthermore, this webinar will provide a summary of the sustainable features and design strategies used at various Army National Guard (ARNG) projects.

Not all resilience strategies are sustainable, and not all sustainability strategies are resilient however, where these strategies overlap, they create stronger solutions. Resilient Design involves planning for change and hazards throughout the building’s life and prioritizes design solutions that mitigate risk and vulnerability. These risks include those due to climate change, health concerns, social and community concerns, infrastructure, environmental impact, and economic forces.

The U.S. Army resiliency policy directs installations to have operational capability of 14 days of energy and water in the case of emergency events. The new electrification mandate requires the elimination of carbon-based fuels. How many projects are ready and budgeted to meet these requirements? This webinar describes the sustainable and resilient design strategies that should be considered for any project and discusses the challenges of what many projects face during design and operation.

Learning Objectives
1. Attendees will be able to identify the differences between sustainable design and resilient design and how they overlap to create stronger design solutions.
2. Participants will be able to identify various risk categories in the face of climate change that may pose risks to buildings and structures.
3. Attendees will learn how to identify the hazard and climate projections for a site; and the risks, vulnerabilities, and opportunities based on those projections.
4. Participants will learn potential design strategies and solutions that address hazard and climate projections and vulnerability.
5. Attendees will learn how to access key resources for resilient and climate-adaptive design.
