CD-223 | Resilient and Climate-Adaptive Construction Strategies

This 36-hour course examines how the built environment can adapt to the challenges of climate change, extreme weather, and environmental degradation. Students explore strategies for resilient design, disaster mitigation, and adaptive infrastructure, using real-world case studies from New Jersey and international benchmarks. Key topics include flood mitigation, urban heat adaptation, renewable microgrids, passive survivability, and climate-informed building codes. Through hands-on simulations and scenario planning, participants learn to design and manage construction projects that withstand and recover from environmental stressors while maintaining long-term sustainability. By course completion, students will be prepared to integrate resilience strategies into construction and infrastructure projects, aligning with FEMA, NJDEP, Envision, and LEED Resilient Design frameworks.
