In this episode of the Healthy Homes Hub Podcast, host Jenny Danson is joined by Richard Flemmings, Co-founder of Map Impact, to explore the critical issue of overheating in urban neighbourhoods. As climate change intensifies, the risks posed by hot homes, particularly to vulnerable populations, are becoming more apparent.
Jenny and Richard delve into the unique challenges faced by urban areas, including the urban heat island effect, and discuss why it's essential to consider the entire neighbourhood when planning retrofit upgrades for healthier living environments. They also explore the potential of space technology to assess heat susceptibility and enhance the health and well-being of residents.
Key topics include:
The integration of green and blue spaces to mitigate overheating
The potential inclusion of climate risk in conveyancing requirements
