The likelihood of exposure to overheated indoor environments is increasing as climate change exacerbating the frequency and severity hot weather extreme heat events (EHE). Consequently, vulnerable populations will face serious health risks from overheating. While relationship between EHE human has been assessed in relation outdoor temperature, temperature patterns can vary markedly those measured outside. This because built environment building characteristics act an important modifier temperatures. In this narrative review, we examine physiological behavioral determinants that influence a person's susceptibility Further, explore how environment, neighborhood-level factors, impact excess overview strategies mitigate overheating help reduce heat-related mortality heat-vulnerable occupants. Finally, discuss effectiveness commonly recommended personal cooling aim dangerous increases strain during high temperatures or EHE. As global continue rise, need for research agenda specifically directed at reducing on paramount. includes conducting simulation studies support development consensus-based mitigation solutions public messaging provides equitable protection people exposed

Urban overheating has a serious impact on building energy consumption. Daytime radiative cooling materials are an interesting passive solution for refrigeration. However, their costs and complex manufacturing hinder current application. In this study, series of scalable lowcost daytime (DTRC) were designed, fabricated, tested in moderate climate (Cfb-Köppen-Geiger classification) compared to aluminum Vikuiti. The methodology was: i) material selection design, (ii) optimization, (iii) fabrication, (iv) characterization, (v) testing. fabricated using different substrates, Vikuiti, two kinds formulations the emissive layers based silica-derived polymer polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) with embedded silica nanoparticles. resulting DTRC had mean solar reflectivity 0.7 0.34 emissivity atmospheric window, samples Vikuiti 0.97 0.89, respectively. During experiment, exposed ambient conditions without convection barrier contained extruded polystyrene board eliminate conduction. reached 7.32 °C 9.13 maximum surface temperature reduction (below ambient) during day night, commercial substrate achieved 3.72 below temperature. Although did not achieve subambient throughout entire day, layer reduced sample's by average 1.7 °C. PMSQ show great potential future applications. Suitability under climates experimental settings should be done test broad applicability.

Investigating diurnal and seasonal variations in a multi-domain approach still needs to be exploited for people's wellbeing urban coastal areas. This study, therefore, presents an innovative method assess the effects of water bodies accounting hyperlocal climate conditions, continuously mapped via mobile/wearable environmental monitoring. was performed wearable sensing during winter summer, analyzing eight canyons with different morphologies anthropogenic activities. The body's effect assessed by comparing air temperature along these canyons, while heat stress evaluated through Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET). In winter, sea not explicitly identified. Conversely, cooling evident summer. Despite statistically significant correlations between distance from sea, no association sky view factor (SVF) detected. Additionally, particulate matter (PM) concentration analysis did allow identifying specific actions cannot behave as effective proxy. However, trends summer may represent clear cheap-to-detect outcome complexity every canyon, which includes varied features local overheating forcing. highlights importance microclimate monitoring strategic differences detected, waves instance.

Abstract The escalating frequencies and intensities of heat waves have become a global concern in the face climate change. Cities are increasingly vulnerable to overheating due amplification urban island (UHI) during waves. Factors influencing synergetic impact UHI on built environment complex, mainly including degree urbanization, land use patterns, building morphology, thermal properties construction materials, variations moisture fluxes sinks. Researchers worldwide extensively exploring characteristics waves, factors areas, environments, as well possible mitigation measures. However, existing literature lacks holistic comprehensive understanding complexities between that is needed for planning implementing effective measures future. This study systematically presents overview past three decades related spanning wave definitions, impacts buildings, energy, occupant health, infrastructure, measures, case studies, best practices, future considerations, challenges. objective synthesize current knowledge highlight gaps understanding, providing foundation research. review suggests combination strategies across various scales, from individual buildings entire neighborhoods cities, can contribute effectively mitigating heat. includes prioritizing compact mid-rise with light-colored exteriors, integrating large parks green spaces, utilizing cool super ensuring insulation, employing passive mixed-mode cooling ventilation systems incorporating sustainable technology innovation. Additionally, community participation social equity crucial addressing vulnerabilities at local level. It highlights complexity relationship environment, emphasizing need interdisciplinary approaches development outcomes formulation informed policies mitigate adverse surroundings.
