In a warming world, heat will increasingly be deadly.The IPCC has stated that extreme heat events are due to global warming – and as we are failing to curb emissions – there is a high confidence they will only get worse. Even if your building doesn’t overheat today – it may well in the future.  In this episode of the Livable Low-Carbon City, we'll explore the problems with overheating, and some of the ways we can mitigate this to make our buildings and cities more climate adaptive, more livable. Subjects discussed in this episode include: The British Columbia chief coroner's report on heat-related deaths due to the 2021 heat dome. National Research Council Canada's report: Climate resilience buildings: guideline for management of overheating risk in residential buildings.Business Wire report on the $10 million settlement for overheating in a new San Francisco highrise. Passivhaus Plus article, 'Overheating - a growing threat that mustn't be ignored.'ACEEE's research report: Cool Policies for Cool Cities: Best Practices for Mitigating Urban Heat Islands in North American Cities.Recent research on mitigation of overheating in multifamily buildings in the Pacific Northwest: Improving the passive survivability of residential buildings during extreme heat events in the Pacific Northwest.Stadt Wien's (Vienna) page on their solar protection subsidy program (German). Lastly, to stay up to date with what Michael Eliason is doing at Larch Lab, be sure to sign up for newsletter updates.
