Seminar 1: Fundamentals of Climate Change
Summary:
As climate change impacts our built environment today, ASHRAE members seek to improve the design of tomorrow's buildings. This June, ASHRAE is publishing the new Fundamentals chapter, Climate Change. Along with climate science and mitigation, the chapter introduces climate adaptation. Planning for tomorrow's climate is a hot topic for public and private owners, consultants and citizens. This session provides an industry update on building design and climate risk management.
