Are our buildings ready for a changing climate?: Update September 2010

Building owners, operators and users are coming under increasing pressure to prepare their buildings for climate change. What are the legal obligations? Are there any regulatory constraints? What practical options are available to combat climate change?

Maddocks, in collaboration with HASSELL, has prepared a discussion paper on the impact of climate change on buildings. The paper provides a framework to assist building owners, operators and users in understanding the regulatory mechanisms that exist to address the challenges presented by climate change. In addition, the paper features real life case studies prepared by HASSELL, illustrating the practical options that are available for buildings to combat climate change.
