As global temperatures continue to rise, the conversation around cooling our buildings is becoming increasingly important—but the solution extends beyond installing more air conditioners.

Recent research highlights that while air conditioning remains essential for protecting people during extreme heat, long-term resilience depends on smarter building design.

In this article research suggest that integrating passive cooling strategies approaches into building design could reduce cooling demand by as much as 80% in hot climates while improving energy resilience.
