Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in the Built Environment

July 13, 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Architecture Auditorium

Join us for the first of four Sakamaki Extraordinary Lectures!

Thoughtful design of buildings and landscapes can dramatically impact how we consume fossil fuel energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as reduce potable water consumption, which is becoming increasingly limited in quality and quantity. Professor Meguro and Ms. Venu will discuss their personal experiences designing exemplary buildings as well as landscapes that serve as water infrastructure systems showcasing ecosystem services and triple bottom line benefits. In addition, they will discuss adaptive measures of 21st design for buildings and their sites to manage the effects of climate change including both sea level rise and changes in weather patterns.

With Wendy Meguro, LEED AP BD+C, Assistant Professor of Sustainable Building & Community Design, 91精品黑料吃瓜 Manoa School of Architecture and 91精品黑料吃瓜 Sea Grant College Program and Lauren Carter-Roth Venu, Founding Principal and President, Roth Ecological Design Int. LLC.
