Weather puts focus on adaptation for buildings
The Ring
Climate change affects the trends in temperature and precipitation that many regions in BC are already seeing and will see more of in the future: higher annual mean temperatures; increases in winter precipitation; and drier summers. These changes must be factored into building design to reduce risks to infrastructure and to people's health and well-being, climate experts say.
