In this course, we'll examine what "resilience" means and how effective planning and application of progressive structural design, practices and building materials particularly Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) can fulfill a two-pronged sustainability objective: improving a building's energy efficiency while fortifying it against nature's inevitable hazards.

Learning Objectives Understand emerging risks and opportunities as human and economic losses from disasters increase. Implement the design principals of energy and disaster resilience. Identify the advantages of ICF building system in strengthening disaster resiliency and sustainability. Recognize the short-term ROI of disaster resilient ICF construction as well as the long-term benefits in terms of reduce operating, insurance and maintenance costs along with improved occupant health and safety.
