What we do

Guidance & Support

Overview

We produce free guidance and practical resources that help people understand overheating and identify actions that improve heat resilience in homes, schools, workplaces and public spaces.

What we do

Understanding the risks of overheating is only the first step. We develop guidance that helps people make informed decisions about hot weather.

Our guidance combines the latest research with practical recommendations, making technical information easier to understand and apply. Whether you're responsible for a home, school, workplace or public building, our aim is to provide trusted information that supports better decisions.

Where specialist technical consultancy is required, we can also help organisations identify appropriate expertise through our wider network.

Our approach

Good guidance empowers people to take action. By making reliable information freely available, we hope to improve resilience, reduce heat-related risks and help organisations prepare for a warmer future.
