NIBS + FAS Extreme Heat Webinar Series

Of the growing natural hazard risks , extreme heat is one of the most pervasive and underestimated threats to human health, infrastructure, and community livability. This five-part webinar series hosted by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) explores the intersection of risk mitigation, building performance, energy reliability, and policy innovation to address the growing risks of heat in our communities.

Through expert-led discussions, participants will gain a systems-level understanding of solutions across the built environment, from urban design to energy efficiency , and learn how policy can expand access to the technologies necessary to drive adaptation, energy affordability, and grid resilience.

Whether you are shaping buildings, neighborhoods, or environmental strategies, this series offers the technical insights and collaborative frameworks needed to cool where we live, work, and play.
