Tackling overheating in homes | RISE Masterclass

Overheating is no longer a future risk; it’s a current and growing challenge across the UK’s homes.

With hotter summers, better insulated buildings, and changing occupancy patterns, more properties are experiencing uncomfortable and sometimes unsafe indoor temperatures. The result is increasing risk for residents, growing pressure on housing providers, and a need for more informed, proactive design and management decisions.

In this masterclass, we move beyond the theory to focus on what overheating means in practice, and what you can actually do about it.

Led by Senior Consultant Claire Brown, this session will explore how overheating occurs, how to identify which homes are most at risk, and the practical steps that can be taken to mitigate it – whether through retrofit, design, or day-to-day management.
