| The
building design industry is a risky business. With the increasing
sophistication of building features to meet the rising demands of
society there is increased risk as building developers push faster
and harder to get buildings build as inexpensively as possible. The
diverging demands for higher quality construction to meeting
tightening energy, comfort and occupant health requirements from
building codes and standards vs. the pressures to build faster and
at lower costs are creating unprecedented risk management challenges
to the professionals charged with the design and construction of
these facilities. Risk management is an insurance issue. Insurance
companies need to take head. Although there are some in the building industry who can afford to do quality construction and use prudent engineering procedures to design the buildings there are more who are using "lowest first cost" as their primary criteria and taking shortcuts around the intent of building codes and industry standards that are in place for the purpose of ensuring that America's buildings are energy efficient, provide proper occupant comfort and healthy living environments. When issues like Indoor Air Quality/Environment, Mold, Global Warming, Energy Waste, Etc. are not given their due consideration in all building designs then there is a risk involved. Are insurance companies doing all they can to educate their clients on Risk Management? Risk Management starts with proper design decisions which include proper product selections, installations, installations and operations.
