Building and Protecting Homes in a Changing Climate
The threat of climate hazards is forcing us to reinvent where and how we live, from the exact location to the design and then to the codes and insurance policies. This session will crack open Zillow data to look at how climate change is affecting market dynamics. Then dive into the new materials and design options to keep residents safe. And, finally, a look at disparate building codes that offer standards of protection and risk modeling, underwriting, and insurance examples that are gaining traction.
