Project RESILIENCE set out to examine overheating in a variety of building archetypes, but also examined several aspects of overheating related to the tools that are used, the weather data that has been employed in dynamic simulations and potential low-cost solutions to improving the resilience of the existing non-residential building stock that relies upon ventilative cooling.

Project RESILIENCE set out to examine overheating risk in a variety of non-residential building archetypes, but also examined several aspects of both overheating risk metrics and indoor thermal resilience evaluation criteria. Assessing the future risk of overheating in new and retrofitted buildings is usually undertaken by applying national regulations and buildings codes where minimum criteria is typically published.
