Existing buildings are an untapped resource in addressing climate action, community resiliency, and livability. Through a series of case studies, this course explores the health of the built environment that supports our communities and why renovation and adaptive reuse compared to new construction lessens embodied carbon and promotes long term health and community vibrancy. Presenters explore how architects are uniquely positioned to utilize new tools in developing more holistic solutions to traditionally disparate silos of infrastructure improvement. Among the questions addressed: How do we find new life for existing buildings and demonstrate their ability to lower overall building emissions. How can sensitive building solutions to preservation support communal healing? How do we identify the most urgent needs and accelerate our responses?

After viewing this course, you will better understand the decarbonization benefits of renovation and adaptive reuse over new construction and how to apply new tools to create healthier environments.

The increased urgency of our climate crisis and global health emergencies demand responses that recognize decarbonization is directly correlated to health equity and community resilience.

This 4-part thought leadership summit takes a systems-approach to explore high-impact decarbonization strategies that nurture our communities and ecosystems. The courses examine 1) indoor air quality and the right to positive health outcomes; 2) adaptive reuse strategies, the circular economy, and electrification; and 3) case studies demonstrating what “good” looks like through responsible building in projects and practice. How do we redefine “standard of care” to ensure climate-smart solutions? What does it look like to co-create with community to achieve our goals? How do we design resilient and adaptable buildings that can evolve? Ultimately, how do we leverage our shared responsibility to support a sustainable future?
