Climate-resilient buildings stay cooler, now and in the future. Heatwaves and more extreme weather conditions will no longer be an exception. Within the Recover++ research on Resilient Cooling, we are investigating how we can better understand and measure the impact of certain design choices on the resilience of buildings to overheating, using two case studies.
