Why is it important?
With increasing urbanization, projected future global warming and further stringency in building energy efficiency, overheating in residential buildings will remain a challenge, and at the same time, provides opportunities for research and innovations for the building community. This paper presents the potential further research areas.
Perspectives
More research activities and publications are expected on overheating in residential buildings in areas such as overheating criteria and standards, present and future weather file preparation, mitigation strategies during design and operation, balancing between overheating risk and energy efficiency, and the monitoring of overheating risks in existing and new dwellings.
