Innovation Showcase - Overheating
Following the launch of our ground-breaking UK Climate Resilience Roadmap, this webinar will highlight innovative solutions available to help built environment practitioners to make progress towards increasing climate resilience and reducing overheating.
As climate change impacts continue to occur, the built environment must prepare for hazards such as heatwaves, floods, and storms whilst cutting carbon emissions. Currently, more than 55% of UK homes are already at risk of overheating and in the summer of 2022, when temperatures in the UK surpassed 40°C for the first time, England and Wales recorded 3,271 heat-related deaths. This highlights the urgency of addressing overheating in our built environment, which is only going to become more critical due to climate change.
Many innovation solutions and approaches are being developed to address this challenge, whether that be digital tools, physical products or technologies or approaches. This webinar will shine a spotlight onto some of these solutions, whilst providing attendees with the opportunities to ask questions and spark a discussion.
