Climate Risk Assessment in Construction and Architecture (using the example of a specific sub-field in the field of construction and architecture or a geographical region)

The course “Climate Risk Assessment in Construction and Architecture (using the example of a specific sub-field in the field of construction and architecture or a geographical region)” is aimed at developing competencies in the field of climate risk assessment in construction, taking into account both climatic and socio-economic factors. Particular attention is paid to the transition from general risk assessment to the development of practically oriented adaptation strategies aimed at increasing the resilience of buildings and structures, ensuring their safety and durability, as well as sustainable development of the built environment. For Ukrainian regions facing a combination of climate challenges, urbanization pressures, and the consequences of war-related damage, knowledge of adaptation is critically important for the recovery and long-term development of territories.

Course objective. To develop in course participants the ability to carry out a comprehensive, scientifically based assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities in construction and architecture, taking into account climatic, technical and socio-economic factors, as well as to develop practically oriented adaptation strategies aimed at increasing the resilience, safety, energy efficiency and durability of buildings and structures and ensuring the sustainable development of the built environment. Special attention is paid to developing skills in integrating the principles of green building, digital modeling, and interdisciplinary analysis for making effective managerial and design decisions under conditions of climate change.
