CIBSE is a project partner in the National Hub on Net Zero, Health and Extreme Heat (Hearth), a £7.4m initiative funded by UK Research and Innovation and the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
Hearth will explore how the transition to net zero can improve health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations, by tackling the risks of extreme heat. It will focus on homes, care facilities, hospitals and prisons.
CIBSE will bring its expertise in building performance and climate-responsive design to help translate findings into actionable strategies for the built environment.
