SUMMARY:Building-System Strategies for Resilient Cooling
DESCRIPTION:The existing building stock in the United States was not designed to cope with current extreme temperatures. Much needs to be done to fix aging housing\, from upgrading poor insulation to fixing ineffective air conditioning\, while also designing new buildings for future temperatures\, if warming trends continue. \nThis webinar will focus on building-system strategies to reduce the impacts of extreme heat on buildings\, showcasing cooling solutions beyond conventional air conditioning. Participants will hear directly from experts on the policies that will enable greater proliferation of resilient cooling solutions that offer co-benefits for energy efficiency\, reduced household energy burdens\, and greater energy reliability. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the Link Between Heat and Housing Affordability: Scope how housing infrastructure is unprepared for current temperatures\, impacting consumers costs to adequately cool their indoor environments.\nExplore Technology Solutions: Discover how resilient cooling technologies can offer co-benefits for energy efficiency and reduced household energy burdens\, as well as resilience during power brownouts and blackouts.\nExamine the Policy Landscape: Understand how existing federal\, state and local policy levers and strategies can increase access and affordability of resilient cooling technologies\, and discover real-world examples of implementation.\n\n  \nThis webinar is part of the Facing the Heat Webinar Series hosted by NIBS and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) which explores the intersection of risk mitigation\, building performance\, energy reliability\, and policy innovation to address the growing risks of heat in our communities.
