Extreme Heat Home Adaptation
Review shading, insulation, windows, cooling and roof measures that can improve home resilience to extreme heat.
This page does not predict property-level climate risk. Do not select a hazard just because of your country. Verify local exposure using official hazard maps, building authorities, insurers or qualified professionals.
Measures to review
Heat adaptation should first reduce unwanted solar gains and heat entry, then provide safe and efficient cooling where needed.
