Mr. Jeremy Hudson

Climate risk is now a balance-sheet issue. In the south central US, exposure to heat, severe storms, and flash flooding is rising—while lenders, insurers, and tenants are raising the bar on performance and resilience in buildings and communities. This session equips owners, developers, and practitioners with a clear, practical roadmap: screen sites and portfolios for risk, translate findings into cost-effective design and operational strategies, and align with financing and incentives. We’ll also note where emerging best practices and frameworks—such as the resilience and performance focus areas in LEED v5—can serve as useful reference points and guides. A panel of local and national practitioners will share tools, case examples, and the financial case for avoided losses, operating savings, and asset value. Walk away with actionable resources to future-proof both new projects and existing assets.
