Severe heat waves and rising global temperatures necessitate equitable and sustainable cooling solutions to ensure public health and environmental protection.

Researchers have developed a cooling fabric that, when applied to buildings, can reduce internal temperatures by mitigating heat from sunlight and thermal radiation.

The CISBAT 2025 conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, invites abstracts on energy efficiency, renewable technologies, and circularity by 31 October 2024, for a hybrid event focusing on the transition to carbon neutrality in the built environment.

The new Politecnico di Milano's track in the Building Engineering for Sustainability programme focuses on innovative building envelopes for energy efficiency and sustainability, aligning with global climate goals.

Termite mounds inspire architects to design sustainable, energy-efficient buildings with natural ventilation, local materials, and resilient structures, improving urban living.

The global shift towards sustainability in building practices, driven by climate change urgency, emphasises green certifications, lifecycle considerations, and energy-efficient designs in commercial real estate.
