Climate change has exacerbated the summertime overheating in buildings, necessitating resilient adaptation strategies. Based on our previous work, which introduced a Thermal Resilience Index (TRI) ranging from Class F to Class A+ using a concept of resilient trapezoid framework, this study explores unit-level retrofit strategies for high-rise long-term care buildings.
