Adapting the Built Environment for Climate Change: Design Principles for Climate Emergencies provides a framework through analysis of scenarios and proposes various adaptation strategies for climate emergencies (heat waves, wildfires, floods, and storms). Divided into three themes the book offers an organized vision of a complex and multi-factor challenge. It covers Climatic resilience and building refurbishment, implications for service life prediction and maintainability, and climate adaptation in maintenance and management of buildings; Infrastructure materials and climate emergency adaptation; and Building adaptation to heat waves, wildfires, floods, and storms. The book will be an essential reference resource for civil and structural engineers, architects, planners and designers, and other professionals with an interest in adaptation of the built environment against climate change. Presents technical solutions for adaptation of the built environment against climate change Features multiple authors spanning both engineering and architectural disciplines Proposes a systematic approach to implement low carbon solutions and build capacity to make successful transitions to a resilient city
