Agenda Symposium: Safe, Secure, and Sustainable Facilities
Date: May 13, 2010 Background: Designing and renovating facilities that are both sustainable and secure presents challenges, but it can be done. Speakers from government, academia, and the private sector will identify areas of synergy, potential conflicts, and tradeoffs among security and sustainability approaches. They will highlight ways to achieve balanced design solutions that will minimize environmental impacts and ensure the health, safety, security, and comfort of building occupants. New initiatives related to disaster resiliency, a research agenda for sustainable, secure materials, and for a sustainability curriculum will also be presented.
