Overheating & Ventilative Cooling

As heatwaves become more frequent, the instinctive response is often to install mechanical cooling. But are we overlooking better solutions? This session challenges the growing reliance on air conditioning by exploring how ventilative and evaporative cooling, passive design, and intelligent ventilation strategies can tackle overheating before mechanical cooling becomes the only option. Through expert insights and real-world case studies, discover how smarter design can improve occupant comfort, reduce energy consumption, and deliver more resilient, low-carbon buildings.

12:30 - 13:15
