UK cannot rely on air conditioning to cope with heatwaves, says University of Nottingham professor

Summary

Professor Lucelia Rodrigues of the University of Nottingham argues that the UK cannot rely on air conditioning to cope with rising temperatures from heatwaves, as the country's buildings are designed to retain heat. She advocates for passive cooling solutions such as better insulation, shading, green roofs, and urban greening to make homes and cities more resilient to extreme heat, rather than turning to energy-intensive air conditioning units.
