DESCRIPTION:This is the third volume of the Adaptive Thermal Comfort serie
 s\, in which Roaf and colleagues explore the “building revolution” nee
 ded to ensure that people can remain not only comfortable but thermally sa
 fe indoors in a heating future.\n\n12.30pm – complimentary light lunch &
  networking\n1-2pm – discussion\n\nAs climate change drives more frequen
 t and intense weather trends and events\, communities have been pushed by 
 the regulatory system to being ever more reliant on mechanical air conditi
 oning and ventilation systems that can be both energy intensive and chemic
 ally and thermally polluting to the climate and environment. The result is
  accelerating feedback loops whereby the overuse of cooling technology inc
 reases the need for the use of that technology. The move to building mecha
 nisation has gone hand in hand with the global trend of decreasing the pas
 sive climatic performance of buildings\, leading to “a generation of oft
 en thermally dangerous and increasingly un-resilient buildings”.\n\nRese
 archers and students at any career stage with an interest in extreme heat 
 resilience across academic disciplines and perspectives\, from architectur
 e\, engineering and material science and engineering to environmental just
 ice and behavioural policy fields\, are warmly invited to share and explor
 e Roaf’s insights.
