Heat stress becomes the new construction standard
Heat stress is becoming a key challenge for Belgian housing construction. New insights from KU Leuven and Archipelago Architects, commissioned by VEROZO, show why summer comfort is becoming essential in building design.
Considering the increasing temperatures and the possibly more frequent heatwaves during summer, KU Leuven and Archipelago Architects, commissioned by the Belgian association for shutters and sun protection VEROZO, conducted a study on the risks and solutions for residential construction in Belgium.
