This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

The environment is changing. The consensus is that the climate is getting warmer. How are engineers and architects going to design buildings to cope with a changing environment? Global Climate and Regional Climate models can make predictions of future climate while Canyon Air Temperature models are capable of predicting temperatures in a street canyon for extended periods. This seminar will show how a changing environment can be accounted for in the design of buildings either by making provisions in advance through design or mitigating the impact after the fact.
