Changing Climate: Structural Resilience & Risk Mitigation | Builder Innovator Dallas 2025

Changing Climate: Structural Resilience & Risk Mitigation

Climate risk is reshaping insurance, affordability, and how builders must design homes for the next 20 to 30 years. This session shows how Passive House principles, resilient materials, and smarter roof assemblies can cut risk, improve comfort, and potentially move homes into a lower insurance category.

🎙️ Speakers
Tim Costello - Built4F | Darren Macri - Wythe Windows | Matthew O'Boyle - CertainTeed

✨ Why Watch?
→ See why Passive House principles deliver resilience: airtight envelopes, super insulation, thermal bridge reduction, ERVs, and high-performance windows
→ Understand how climate shifts are expanding fire, wind, flood, and hail risk into regions that have never faced them
→ Learn how resilient roof assemblies, sealed sheathing, upgraded nailing patterns, and self-adhered membranes help homes withstand extreme weather
→ Discover how better building design can reduce insurance costs, improve comfort, and future-proof homes for long-term performance
