Climate change is leading to increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves, which elevate the risk of human thermal stress in indoor environments. These conditions can make buildings uninhabitable during extreme events and long after they have passed. Therefore, it is crucial to design future-proof buildings and systems that can withstand such shocks and mitigate their impact on human well-being. This performance is known as thermal resilience to overheating.
Events
