(PAID) Health Facilities Design & Development Summit
1:40 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: RESILIENT HEALTHCARE BY DESIGN: ADAPTING FACILITIES FOR CLIMATE EXTREMES
As climate change drives more frequent and extreme weather events, infrastructure must adapt. From hospitals to community facilities, the need for resilient, future-focused design has never been greater and balancing environmental sustainability with performance, cost, and community needs vital. Join our panel to explore climate adaptation strategies for critical infrastructure, including:
• Designing facilities to withstand extreme heat, storms, and other adverse conditions
• Funding climate-conscious maintenance and redevelopment choices
• Exploring environmentally sustainable solutions for heating and cooling
• Building infrastructure that supports clinical care and community response during climate-driven disruptions
3:30 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: GOING FURTHER THAN REGULATION – HOW TO PUSH SUSTAINABILITY TO THE TOP OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AGENDA
Sustainable features in facility design are often the first to be cut when budgets tighten. While this may solve short-term financial concerns, it creates significant long-term risks. Join our panel of industry experts as they explore strategies to make sustainability a non-negotiable in new developments and why doing so is essential for future-proofing your projects.
