As climate extremes accelerate, physical climate risk analysis is becoming a core design input complementing, not competing with, low-carbon strategies. This session will illustrate how architects and engineers can integrate forward-looking climate data into early design and ongoing asset decisions using a real-world case study: 80 Atlantic, Ontario’s first mass-timber office building. Originally designed with a focus on decarbonization, the project was later evaluated through a climate risk audit to understand how future heat, flooding, and extreme weather could affect building systems and long-term performance. Through this lens, the session demonstrates how climate risk insights can identify vulnerable components, inform preventative-care interventions, and be aligned with capital planning and maintenance cycles. This interactive audience exercise will invite participants to test their own assumptions about risk and resilience, reinforcing practical takeaways that align with emerging standards like LEED® v5.
