Abstract

An increasing body of evidence suggests that a number of homes in the UK experience overheating. As both new homes and retrofitted properties target for higher energy efficiency and performance standards, and as the delivery capacity of the residential construction sector increases, the case of thermal comfort and quality in homes is raised. The current author draws on a range of available guidance and information, on both thermal comfort and overheating in homes, in order to provide a clearer understanding of the issue and challenges moving forward. Information presented and reviewed includes design guides, accepted industry standards, overheating assessment criteria, Building Regulations and guidelines found within the London Plan.
