Are we designing buildings ready for tomorrow’s climate problems?

As heat rises and rainfall intensifies, a hidden risk is emerging in construction, where short-term cost decisions can lead to long-term structural failures. Damian Lusty of Sika Malaysia joins us to unpack why durability is often sacrificed, how climate stress is already showing up in defects, and what “credible sustainability” really means. 

We also explore why frameworks like the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and lifecycle assessments are becoming harder to ignore, as well as how issues like water ingress and corrosion start early, and why they’re far more expensive to fix than to prevent.
