Welcome to this exciting live workshop, with a summer-appropriate topic!

In an increasingly warming climate, we are realising more and more the importance of designing our buildings with particular attention to summer conditions and future-proofing.

While the industry has been focusing for decades on isolating from cold winter conditions, we come to this stage with a gap in knowledge and regulations on overheating.

For a topic so relevant and urgent, the most important step to take is raising awareness and inclusion of these considerations as early as possible in building designs.

How do we future-proof buildings for a more comfortable and cool internal environment on hot days?

Your expert speaker will guide us through this incredibly important topic, touching on:

Trends and projections of the warming climate
Barriers and knowledge gaps on overheating
How the building fabric needs to adapt to change in temperatures
Strategy for free cooling and mechanical cooling systems in buildings
What actions we can take for existing buildings now
How to overcome design and regulations gaps
Tools and references available.
