In the past, buildings were mainly designed for cold winter months, and longer periods of heat were less expected. As a result, a large proportion of existing buildings today are inadequately prepared for prolonged hot days. How can existing buildings be better protected against heat? What should new buildings focus on? If there is no other option, how can mechanical cooling be retrofitted?
With a talk by Sebastian El Khouli: “Climate-friendly construction: The building as an overall system”
- Heat as a design factor: What does this imply for renovations and new buildings?
- The building and its surroundings – interactions between urban space and building structures
- The building as a system – interaction of building structure, construction, building envelope and operation
