Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk in the Built Environment (Resilience Series Course 2)

Learn how to recognize, anticipate, and plan for the impacts shocks and stresses have on communities and buildings. In this interactive course, you’ll explore the relationships between hazards, vulnerability, and risk in the built environment, which will, in turn, inform a holistic design process that protects public safety and reduces damage to property. Designing communities that are safe, healthy, and sustainable rests on this foundation.

Responding to Climate Change (Resilience Series Course 3)

Designing and building climate adaptive buildings is not a choice—it’s an imperative. This course explores the major obstacles—and opportunities—that climate change poses for architects. On the one hand, short and long-term risks to the built environment are evolving with climate change. On the other, buildings are major carbon producers. Thus, architects must be part of the solution; designing buildings that both adapt to climate impacts and mitigate global warming. This course shows you how with an interactive approach to exploring data, innovative design strategies, and case studies that highlight how building design can adapt to—and even slow—climate change.

Codes and Rating Systems for Resilience (Resilience Series Course 4)

Building codes are designed to protect people; and thus building to code may not provide the level of property protection your clients want. This in-depth course offers a solution. You’ll learn how to unpack the level of protection building codes offer so you can best identify—and design for—resilience gaps. Through case studies and expert interviews, you’ll review how recent advances are reducing vulnerability, including lessons learned from past disasters, stretch codes, and performance-based codes. You’ll also review the full scope and limitations of the building code and how codes address the impacts of potential hazards for any region. Finally, you’ll learn how rating systems can complement, reinforce, or extend the provisions of local codes.

Conducting Vulnerability Assessments (Resilience Series Course 5)

Learn how to conduct vulnerability assessments in new and existing buildings using a step-by-step process to make informed decisions about retrofits, renovations, and repairs to reduce damage from any hazard.

The course begins with an overview of vulnerability concepts and terminology, defining the link between vulnerability and potential damage to existing or new buildings. Its main focus, however, is guiding architects through a 10-step all-hazards vulnerability assessment methodology that has been developed, tested, and used by experts in architecture and design. Using a case study and real examples, this course shows you how to apply each step in the process. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to conduct a building vulnerability assessment with your design team, leverage that assessment to inform your hazard mitigation strategy, and be confident about the benefits of incorporating resilient design features into your projects.

New Construction: Hazard Mitigation Strategies (Resilience Series Course 6)

As billion-dollar natural disasters happen with increasing frequency and intensity, clients need buildings that help them protect their assets now—and into the future. This intermediate-level course teaches you best practices in hazard mitigation strategies that go beyond the existing code to protect your client’s investment and reduce their risk in new building projects. Using case studies of successful mitigation strategies and best practices from leading experts like FEMA Building Science, this course dives deep into design principles and key concepts to help you make strategic design decisions for hazards including water inundation, wind and storms, geologic/seismic hazards and other climate-related hazards. Every property will be exposed to a unique set of hazards. This course can help you design to reduce the risk associated with primary and secondary hazards, and their cascading effects.

Existing Buildings: Hazard Mitigation Retrofits (Resilience Series Course 7)

Architects are always evolving their practice to meet the needs of clients. As billion-dollar disaster events become the new normal, resilient design solutions that reduce risk and impact—and protect your client’s assets—present a tremendous opportunity for architects. This intermediate-level course unpacks best practices for retrofitting and upgrading existing buildings— often beyond current building codes—to reduce potential damage from key hazards. In addition to strategies for existing buildings, you’ll review unique complexities and opportunities for retrofitting historic buildings. At the end of this course, you’ll have in-depth knowledge, technical information, and resources that will help you improve a building’s disaster resistance and implement strategic design decisions that mitigate the damaging impacts of water inundation, wind and storms, other climate-related hazards, and geologic/seismic hazards.

Professional Risk and the Business Case for Resilience (Resilience Series Course 8)

How do architects develop a compelling business case for resilient design and construction? This course teaches you best practices for guiding developers and building owners on how to best address their level of risk through resilient design, including other risk management strategies such as insurance, grants, and incentive programs. You’ll learn how to raise key questions with the client and design team, use data to understand project risk, showcase how resilient design can mitigate that risk, and demonstrate the costs and benefits. You’ll also learn about the evolving professional responsibilities associated with resilient design in this emerging area of practice.

Community Design & Engagement for Resilience (Resilience SeriesCourse 9)

This course will discuss how stresses such as a lack of affordable housing and social isolation make communities more vulnerable to shocks, and how resilient design and community engagement can influence the social and economic resilience of a community. Through examples and case studies, this course will demonstrate how an individual project can extend benefits beyond its borders with best practices for engaging communities and addressing the interdependencies that make communities more vulnerable to shocks. In addition, this course will discuss the many important roles the “citizen architect” may play in a community which contribute to community resilience.

High Performance Insulation in Commercial Roof Assemblies

Commercial roofing systems are quite varied. As such, their performance expectations are varied, and their suitability for different applications vary. Certain types of high performance roofing systems require specific components, and performance standards to achieve energy efficient and durable life cycle performance. This course describes the high-performance attributes of extruded polystyrene (XPS) and cellular glass insulations in commercial roofing applications, including PRMA (plaza deck, vegetative roofs, and split slabs), unprotected roof membranes, architectural metal and asphalt pavement systems for which cellular glass and XPS are uniquely suited. It defines the building code/performance standards and best specification practices for those systems. Further, it compares various insulation types, how they are manufactured, and how the manufacturing process affects the physical properties and performance of each type of insulation.
