Overview

Climate change is impacting buildings and infrastructure. How can we plan better for new developments and retrofit existing ones? What management strategies can help us adapt?

To address these questions, the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Pakistan Engineering Council are offering this specialised training course free of charge, with credit points from both organisations. This course provides systematic knowledge for both planning new facilities and retrofitting existing ones to improve resilience.

Participants will receive the course materials upon registration, allowing ample time to review the content before the course begins.

Course Content:

  • Country-specific trends
  • Measuring & reporting
  • Case studies
  • Planning for the future
  • Materials & methods
  • Retrofitting existing works
  • Energy efficiency
  • Management strategies

Programme:

  • Day 1: Course discourse and instruction
  • Day 2: Presentations from volunteering participants based on assignments given on Day 1, followed by discussions
