Introduction

Climate change effects Increase in temperature Rise in sea level Effects on weather systems DIFFICULT TO PREDICT! More wind More storms More local river flooding More coastal flooding More disruption… Images: DEFRA; Ilan Kelman,

Research on buildings Arup R&D/Bill Dunster Architects (2005) UK housing and climate change report. Houses will need to include more mass to deal with higher summertime temperatures. Shading, mass and orientation will be much more critical. Low mass buildings will be uninhabitable.

Conclusions Climate change is a difficult problem – effects could be many and varied. Precast concrete can be used for future-proof buildings. “Bounce-back-ability” We must design in beauty, comfort, resilience and energy efficiency. Let us develop positive solutions to the effects of climate change. There are examples now and many more to come!
