由于人为气候变化，世界上许多寒冷和温带地区将经历更炎热和更干燥的夏季，更频繁和更严重的热浪。65岁以上的人更容易受到热效应的影响，更有可能把很大比例的时间花在室内。这些变暖趋势，再加上全球人口老龄化趋势导致的老年人数量迅速增加，将对社会护理系统构成重大压力。室内环境是热暴露的关键调节因素。因此，迫切需要加强我们对建筑设计和热管理在老年人和易受热害人群占据的护理环境中在减少室内热暴露和相关健康影响方面所发挥的作用的理解。本章概述了当前和未来气候条件下护理环境中室内过热水平的现有研究。还讨论了导致室内过热风险的因素和实施过热缓解策略的障碍，包括建筑设计因素和社会技术参数。最后，它介绍了护理环境的气候变化适应途径，重点是针对一系列护理提供行为者和利益攸关方的过度高温暴露预防措施。
Many cold and temperate regions around the world will experience hotter and drier summers, and more frequent and severe heatwaves, due to anthropogenic climate change. People above 65 years of age are more vulnerable to heat effects and more likely to spend a large proportion of their time indoors. These warming trends, combined with a rapidly growing number of old people as a result of global ageing population trends, will pose significant pressures on social care systems. The indoor environment is a key moderator of heat exposure. There is an urgent need, therefore, to enhance our understanding of the role that building design and heat management can play in care settings occupied by older and heat vulnerable people in terms of decreasing indoor heat exposure and associated health impacts. This chapter presents an overview of existing research on levels of indoor overheating in care settings under the current and future climate. It also discusses the factors that contribute to indoor overheating risk and the barriers in the implementation of overheating mitigation strategies, ranging from building design factors to sociotechnical parameters. Last, it presents climate change adaptation pathways for care settings, with a focus on excess heat exposure prevention measures, for a range of care provision actors and stakeholders.
