Climate Risk & Resilient Design
Information
85% of the buildings that will be standing in 2050 already exist today. Many of these assets are inefficient, wasting resources and creating business risk as regulators and tenants raise expectations. This reality drove the leadership of Torre Mayor and Torre Diana to transform these Mexico City landmarks into global safe havens. As North America’s first LEED v5 Platinum-certified project, Torre Diana demonstrates how Latin America is setting a worldwide benchmark for regenerative performance by proving resilience is the primary driver of institutional prestige.
This session unpacks the operational reality of LEED v5 implementation. We move beyond static compliance to examine a multi-layered plan integrating continuous performance monitoring. Attendees will discover how this roadmap prioritizes resilience, turning assets into urban sanctuaries during pollution events while driving ambitious decarbonization goals.
Felipe Flores from Torre Mayor will share the landlord perspective, detailing how a commitment to LEED v5 resulted in occupancy rates above market averages. He will explain how performance monitoring achieved a record 98% tenant satisfaction rate, protecting the building's reputation and long-term asset value.
Alicia Silva from Revitaliza Consultores will examine the strategic necessity of retrofitting iconic assets like Torre Mayor, currently on its fifth LEED recertification. She will highlight how these strategies turn sustainability into measurable performance and position buildings as critical refuges for employees.
Liam Bates from Kaiterra will demonstrate how a dual-stream data architecture, combining in-duct and indoor monitoring, transforms owners from the last to know about air quality issues to the first to see them. He will share a scalable blueprint for using integrated data to isolate mechanical performance, ensuring systems accountability and fostering a new level of trust between landlords and tenants.
This session is essential for developers, owners, and sustainability professionals looking to integrate data-driven resilience into high-performance assets while demonstrating measurable business impact.

Climate Risk & Resilient Design
Learning Objective #1
Analyze the LEED v5 O+M Framework: Evaluate how continuous data shifts building operations from a static baseline to a dynamic model that maximizes points in the LEED v5 IEQ category.
Learning Objective #2
Construct a Performance-Based Roadmap: Design a strategic action plan that bridges the gap between design vision and daily operational reality to protect occupant health during climate-related events.
Learning Objective #3
Validate Performance at Scale: Analyze how combining in-duct and indoor air quality data isolates mechanical performance from outside variables to prove the building is meeting its health and efficiency goals.
Learning Objective #4
Quantify the ROI of Resilience: Calculate the financial return of investing in data transparency, specifically examining its impact on tenant retention, asset value, energy optimization, and ESG reporting.
