HEAT RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

As climate change leads to rising temperatures, heat-resilient infrastructure is crucial for ensuring buildings and urban environments remain energy-efficient, safe, and comfortable. Many existing structures struggle to cope with extreme heat, resulting in increased energy consumption and costs, especially in urban areas affected by the heat island effect. To tackle these challenges, innovative solutions such as cool roofs, green roofs, and advanced insulation materials are being developed.
