UK homes have to become more Mediterranean to cope with heat?
You may well be forgiven for thinking that Summer 2023 went by in the blink of the eye of yet another storm.
But the heat has been on again over the last few months in the UK, with temperatures rising and extreme hot weather warnings issued at various points.
As scientists predict the onset of “global boiling” and we see mounting evidence of major shifts in climate patterns, the UK is preparing for such significant changes.
Despite the Government seemingly blowing hot and cold over the environment and the drive to achieve Net Zero, the wider construction industry is taking major steps forward.
Indeed, a new survey suggests 9 in 10 architects are going above and beyond the minimum requirements for tackling overheating in new homes, as developers seek to protect residents against extreme heatwaves.
