Cost: FREE
Credits: 1 PDH or 1 AIA CES LU/HSW
Presenter: Jim Schneider (PCI Mountain States)
Description: As the climate continues to change, buildings and infrastructure must evolve to withstand more extreme weather events and environmental stresses. This presentation explores how concrete can be deployed to enhance community resilience against flooding, extreme temperatures, and severe storms. We’ll examine case studies of projects that utilize concrete’s unique properties to protect coastal areas, manage stormwater, and moderate urban heat island effects. The session will also cover emerging innovations in concrete mix designs and construction techniques that maximize durability while minimizing environmental impact.
This webinar is part of the 2025 Sustainable Structures Webinar Series.
