Climate Forward? How Climate Projections Are(n’t) Used to Inform Design
Tuesday, May 16, Noon to 1:00 p.m.
Architects & Engineers are well-positioned to use climate projection data, yet there remains a concerning lag in industry-wide adoption of these forward-looking metrics. A joint study by MCAP and national design firm HGA takes a closer look at this disconnect. Join us for the next Adaptation in Action webinar on Tuesday, May 16 at Noon to learn from HGA Director of Sustainability Ariane Laxo and MCAP and UMN Master’s of Science in Sustainable Design and Architecture student and MCAP intern Patrick Cipriano.
