This report presents a review of existing heat metrics, provides detailed analysis of heat risk for seven building architypes and shares the stories of residents, workers and visitors in the London Borough of Islington who are affected by heat risk.
The report comes out of a project carried out by the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics, Shade the UK and Love Design Studio, funded by the LSE Regional Innovation Fund. The project aimed to develop the scope for a new overheating index for buildings for Islington.
