Heatwaves and Arctic Blasts – how will we cope? Upcoming Ep.05 ‘Weathering Heights’

Climate change is currently resulting in the UK experiencing increases in temperature and more frequent heatwaves, but also spikes in cold weather.   Lara Balazs, Associate, Cities Energy, Buro Happold, discusses how we could look at refurbishing our existing building stock in the UK to meet the needs of our changing climate. Due to a reliance on passive measures, such as opening windows, we now need to look at education around building physics to make people more comfortable during extreme weather spikes.  Listen to the episode trailer and keep an ‘ear’ out for our upcoming episode, ‘Weathering Heights’, where all of this and more will be discussed, at the end of September. Subscribe to the whole series; sometimes we’ll tackle a subject head on, sometimes a sideways view - but always with curiosity, expertise and maybe even a dash of humour.   This podcast series is brought to you by Buro Happold (https://buro.im/SandboxPodcast).
