How SMART tech could lower grid capacity and identify building overheating risks: Upcoming Ep.05 ‘Weathering Heights’

How could SMART technologies regulate our building temperatures and reduce demand for grid capacity, whilst preparing our UK buildings for the effects of climate change? Find out more in our upcoming ‘Sandbox’ episode...  In the UK, a significant topic of discussion is around how we reduce the heat demand of our buildings, and switching from heating by fossil fuels, to using electricity instead. In our changing climate, we also need to increase discussion around managing the overheating of our buildings. Lara Balazs, Cities Energy Associate, Buro Happold, discusses how the design and operation of buildings can make a real difference in our cooling burden, especially through the use of SMART technologies, such as ambient loops. Listen to the 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.
