Panel presentation with:

This thought-provoking discussion will explore the relevant factors in designing for resiliency and damage mitigation in a time of volatile weather and climate conditions, political divisiveness, and opposition to increased regulation.

The speakers will address critical topics including how architects and engineers adapt building codes to evolving weather patterns, if current codes and standards are sufficient to protect the public, insurance coverage challenges, the real estate industry’s response and how can building professionals guide their clients toward protective design standards.

Gain valuable insights as experts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison explore the intersection of climate change, real estate, insurance, and the built environment. This event is free and open to the public.
