Introduction
Water and wind spawned by Hurricane Ian and Nicole last season wrought destruction on both of Florida’s coasts and inland areas. In their wake, the importance of selecting construction materials for buildings in Florida that are more resistant to natural hazards and whose characteristics enable buildings to be repaired more quickly and returned to service boosting community resilience has never been clearer. This webinar will provide national and Florida perspectives on what constitutes a resilient construction material and considerations for architects when designing for resilience. Structural materials, the building envelope and components will be addressed, along with the materials selection process with sustainability and resilience in mind.
Description
Learn that the ability of a construction material to minimize the impacts of natural hazards does not necessarily make the material resilient, but it does make buildings more easily repairable and functionally recoverable, which contributes to increased community resilience.
Objective
Understand the concepts of resilience, repairability and functional recovery. Become familiar with recent developments in product approvals and the effort to go Gold Plus in Florida. Learn about the concept of Smart Green – selecting construction materials with mindfulness and life-cycle cost in mind (not necessarily first cost) that are sustainable and durable and figure well into a building’s life span
