C.A.R.’s Center for California Real Estate (CCRE) has partnered with the UC Center Sacramento to sponsor lectures as part of its weekly speaker series.
The first lecture sponsored by CCRE is “Protecting California Homes from Extreme Heat” on October 19. The virtual session will be taught by Professor V. Kelly Turner whose research addresses the relationship between institutions, urban design, and the environment. Dr. Turner’s work on water resources has investigated the co-benefits of heat mitigation and water conservation through sustainable design.
During her session, she will cover why California housing is unprepared for extreme heat and future increases in duration and intensity expected under climate change.
