Abstract :
[en] With rising urbanization, climate change, and increased comfort expectations, the demand for effective cooling solutions in buildings is surging. Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent, posing significant challenges for maintaining safe and comfortable indoor environments. This comprehensive guidebook supports practitioners in implementing efficient, low-carbon, resilient cooling solutions, which are essential for a sustainable built environment. It focuses on the Resilient Cooling of Buildings project, providing strategies to avoid heat stress and maintain operable conditions during disruptions. This project was a collaboration between REHVA and the Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) programme of the International Energy Agency; Annex 80.
