Overheating Adaptation Guide for Offices
Summary
Temperatures are rising in the UK, and extreme heat is increasingly affecting the way we work.
Despite the common use of air conditioning in offices in the UK, making buildings resilient to rising temperatures without over-reliance on mechanical cooling is increasingly important.
To help address this, Shade the UK, commissioned by Feldberg Capital, developed The Overheating Adaptation Guide for Offices.
The guide works as a tool for both office landlords and tenants to understand the various overheating measures available to improve thermal comfort, reduce reliance on air conditioning, and improve the health and wellbeing of occupants.
It includes solutions for a wide range of office building types, including listed and non-listed buildings, as well as different fit-out stages and budgets.
This guide is the second in our series of overheating adaptation guides. The first, The Overheating Adaptation Guide for Homes, focused on practical measures to help homes become more resilient to rising temperatures.
