Better design could make new homes cooler | Extreme heat

There are two major problems that drive the problem crossing in modern housing (Agenous homes: Why UK housing is dangerous not prepared for influence of the climate crisis, August 10.

First, to maximize profits perhaps performing developments the bare minimum required by law enforcement, without any eligibility of the award's performance in use over his life. This desire to economy often leads to the reduction in natural elements (such as straining in urban areas), who can otherwise help at the temper of heat top.

Secondly, too often we try to solve fundamental flaws in the Bolt Design with Bolt-Op-solutions, if we need to design for climate rating from the beginning. The movement towards air conditioning as an answer to problems that have problems illustrations. Even the new part o-regulations – which coverage you should lead that houses do not have too much – allow the use of machines instead of a adequate responsive building.

Environmental professional professional professionals such as Chartered Architecturic technologies can help overcome this problems without overcoming without overcoming without overcome energy hungry machines. Considering the building, recording, recording a natural ventilation strategy and publish materials in the fabric of the building that reduce heat homes can reduce. But such a principles are often ignored to cut costs.

The climatic situation we find us in requires a shift in the very basic of building design. The knowledge is available. It just need to be employed.
