As temperatures rise during the summer months, the issue of overheating in homes remains a serious and growing concern. GHA has developed a suite of practical resources to help tackle this challenge including free-to-download tools and guidance aimed at identifying and mitigating overheating risks both in new homes and existing buildings undergoing retrofit.
Designed for use at the early design or planning stages, the tools support non-specialists, local authorities, and design teams in making high-impact decisions that consider ventilation, noise, and broader sustainability goals. The GHA’s recently published Shading Guide adds to this toolkit, providing practical advice on incorporating effective shading strategies to reduce overheating risk without compromising daylight or energy performance.
With overheating risks now more relevant than ever, we encourage housing professionals to make use of these vital resources.
