This article examines the significance of climate-resilient building as a key strategy to address the challenges posed by climate change in the construction industry. A comprehensive methodology was employed, based on qualitative analysis and systematic data evaluation using MAXQDA, expert interviews, an expert survey, and a literature review in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Climate-resilient building aims to design buildings and infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions, minimize energy consumption, and reduce CO2 emissions. A central focus of this endeavor is the municipal heat planning law, which aims to promote systematic and sustainable heat supply planning in German cities and municipalities. By promoting renewable energy and increasing supply security, the law aims to enhance the resilience of construction projects to climate change. A key component of this strategy is the integration of district heating as a tool to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The findings show that district heating has the potential to reduce energy consumption and dependency on fossil fuels through centralized heat generation and distribution. The article explores the advantages and challenges of district heating, including high investment costs and the need to switch to renewable energy sources. Additionally, case studies of successful implementations, such as the Vauban district in Freiburg and HafenCity in Hamburg, are presented, demonstrating how district heating can be effectively integrated into climate-resilient building projects. Political and economic frameworks are identified as crucial factors for the successful implementation of such projects. The article concludes with an outlook on future developments and trends in climate-resilient building and underscores the importance of collaboration between governments, businesses, and research institutions to promote a sustainable and future-proof construction industry.
