ASID IMPACT OF DESIGN BRIEF: CLIMATE IMPACTS ON BUILDING RESILIENCE & HUMAN HEALTH

Post-pandemic, health, wellness, and sustainability remain top priorities for clients looking for products and solutions that not only meet their needs but mitigate health risks. With this emphasis on health, clients are also concerned about the increase in extreme weather events— record-breaking heat waves, hurricanes, severe flooding, tornados, and wildfires, which have resulted in devastating destruction and prolonged power outages. When asked about their own experiences, two-thirds of Americans said that they’ve experienced an extreme weather event in just the past year.

ASID is proud to collaborate with Chemical Insights Research Institute on exploring the health and safety impacts of environmental factors like extreme heat and wildfires.
