Key Climate Risk Factors for Construction

Sea Level Rise

1-8 feet projected by 2100 in coastal areas

High Risk: Coastal Projects

Extreme Precipitation

20-30% increase in intense rainfall events

High Risk: All Regions

Temperature Extremes

4-8°F increase, more extreme heat days

High Risk: Southern US

Hurricane Intensity

Stronger storms with higher wind speeds

High Risk: Atlantic/Gulf Coast

Climate Adaptation Strategies

Climate-Smart Site Selection

Avoid 100-year and 500-year flood zones
Consider future sea level rise projections
Evaluate wildfire risk and evacuation routes
Assess heat island effects and cooling needs
Plan for extreme weather emergency access

Resilient Design Features

Elevated foundations above projected flood levels
Enhanced drainage and stormwater management
Wind-resistant construction and materials
Passive cooling and energy efficiency features
Backup power and water systems

Climate-Resilient Materials

Corrosion-resistant materials for coastal areas
High-temperature rated components and systems
Moisture and mold resistant building materials
Impact-resistant windows and exterior elements
Sustainable and locally-sourced materials
