Designing Homes That Stay Strong When It Counts
Chris and Phil talk about what resilience and durability really mean when you are designing homes in a changing climate. They unpack the passive house that famously survived the Palisades fire, explore tradeoffs between fire resistance, everyday wear, and embodied carbon, and share practical rules for wet climates. They also connect building science to equity and affordable housing, and show how future proofing mechanical systems can make buildings and communities more resilient. Email: [email protected]
