Too hot to ignore: Understanding and tackling overheating in buildings
Summertime overheating is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges facing building designers, developers, retrofit professionals, landlords and housing associations.
Join Ben Roberts from Loughborough University, alongside the Build Test Solutions team, for an informative webinar exploring:
- why overheating matters,
- how it can be predicted and assessed,
- what can be done to reduce the risk.
What is covered:
The team will share the latest thinking on overheating, including the principles behind CIBSE TM52 and TM59, common causes of overheating, and how design decisions, occupancy and building operation all influence thermal comfort.
They will then demonstrate how overheating fits into the wider picture of building performance, alongside measured building performance data such as heat loss, airtightness and ventilation, helping professionals move beyond assumptions towards evidence-based decision making.
Who should watch:
Whether you're an architect, developer, retrofit professional, landlord, housing association or building performance specialist, this session will provide practical insights into designing healthier, more resilient buildings.
