SUMMARY:Building For Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the devastating Southern California wildfires\, this summit stands as both a call to action and a catalyst for national resilience. The historic fires exposed systemic vulnerabilities shared by communities across the country—severely damaged buildings\, disrupted water and power services\, severed communications\, impassable roads\, and compromised fuel systems\, amplifying human and economic losses. These cascading failures underscore the urgent need to prioritize preparedness\, protect critical lifelines\, and invest in strategic\, coordinated recovery. \nUsing Southern California as a case study\, this summit aims to establish a national model for lifeline infrastructure resilience and smart capital investment. Federal\, state\, and local leaders will join utility providers\, researchers\, and resilience experts to chart a unified path forward\, one grounded in interdependence\, innovation\, and the modernization of policies\, codes\, and systems that support long-term recovery. \nOver two dynamic days\, the summit will feature compelling keynotes and a mix of collaborative and hands-on sessions. Day 1 will feature policy makers and executive leaders from both public and private sectors for strategic discussions focused on forward-looking policy frameworks\, including breaking down system silos\, overcome integration hurdles\, enhance data sharing\, and foster collaboration to accelerate recovery and build long-term resilience. Day 2 will offer practitioners an in-depth look at cutting-edge technologies and building science innovations that are transforming how we retrofit\, rebuild\, and future-proof the built environment.

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.

SUMMARY:Community-System Strategies for Resilient Cooling
DESCRIPTION:Community infrastructure\, such as thermal energy networks\, district geothermal\, urban forests\, shade structures\, and smart surfaces\, can have a collectively lower upfront cost and lower community-wide energy consumption and the costs of cooling. For example\, strategic deployment of cool roofs in Atlanta\, mandated by ordinance\, are expected to cool the city by 2.4°F in peak summer\, deliver $310 million in direct energy savings\, and generate $760 million in net financial benefits. \nThis webinar will explore community-system technologies and strategies for resilient cooling and their benefits for community-wide energy reliability\, grid resilience\, and extreme heat preparedness. Participants will hear directly from experts on targeted solutions and the policy levers needed to scale up their broad adoption. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplore Technology Solutions: Discover the range of solutions that can be implemented at a community-system level to lower temperatures outdoors and indoors.\nClarify the Co-Benefits for Mitigation: Learn how shared cooling infrastructure can provide community-wide energy reliability\, grid resilience\, and extreme heat preparedness.\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.\nUnderstanding Traditions of Community Cooling: Connect Traditional and forward-thinking community-level cooling solutions.\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.

SUMMARY:Grid-System Strategies for Resilient Cooling
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. electric grid is straining to keep up with rising demand for electricity\, creating potential risks to communities’ cooling systems in the face of intensifying extreme heat. This challenge presents an opportunity for policymakers to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities in energy systems’ ability to sustain safe indoor temperatures. \nThis webinar will explore grid system technologies and strategies for resilient cooling. Participants will hear directly from experts on how they prepare the electric grid for increased energy demand and ensure its reliability during extreme heat events as well as the policies needed to scale up these interventions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand Grid Vulnerabilities: Clarify the current state of grid systems in the U.S. and the needs for extreme heat preparedness. Define resilient cooling as a solution and what it looks like for communities and energy officials.\nExamine solutions for Grid Resilience: Explore how grid-enhancing technologies and demand-side management can prepare electric grid for increased energy demand and ensure its reliability during extreme heat events.\nClarify Roles for Utilities and Policymakers: Learn about the existing policy tools that utilities and policymakers have to advance grid resilience solutions that offer benefits for resilient cooling\nExplore Opportunities for Action: Hear from energy and utility experts on real-world examples of policy 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.

SUMMARY:Building Innovation 2026
DESCRIPTION:At NIBS’ annual Building Innovation conference\, attendees explore challenges\, solutions\, new technologies\, groundbreaking strategies\, and more. There’s no other event that brings together government agency officials\, AEC industry professionals\, researchers\, community planners\, and innovative thinkers – to improve the built environment. Through curated panels\, collaborative workshops\, and federal program showcases\, Building Innovation explores how coordination across sectors can unlock scalable solutions to infrastructure challenges—transforming insight into action. \nBuilding Innovation 2026 will build upon momentum from NIBS Building for Tomorrow Conference held in January 2026 which convened federal\, state\, and local agencies to advance cross-sector policy alignment and explore how system-wide collaboration can drive long-term resilience across America’s lifeline infrastructure systems. Over two days\, curated panels and expert-led sessions will showcase innovations in digital delivery\, building codes\, housing\, capital investment strategies\, and adaptive design. The conference will also spotlight two critical focus areas: Systems of Systems\, which examines how interconnected infrastructure affects resilience at the national scale\, and Modular Offsite Construction\, which highlights efficient\, scalable building methods aligned with NIBS’ emphasis on applied technologies and forward-looking building science.
