Identifying optimal sustainable cooling strategies for the most vulnerable during heatwaves

目前的指南警告说，在没有任何支持证据的情况下，不要在热浪中使用电扇。该项目旨在确定风扇和其他并行的低资源策略如何在模拟炎热/潮湿和非常炎热/干燥的热浪条件下降低最脆弱人群患热相关疾病的风险。这些信息将用于制定简单的热适应策略，这些策略还可以减轻不可持续的能源需求和空调对环境的破坏性影响。

Current guidance warns against electric fan use in heatwaves without any supporting evidence. This Project aims to identify how fans and other parallel low-resource strategies can reduce the risk of heat-related illness in the most vulnerable during simulated hot/humid and very hot/dry heat wave conditions. This information will be used to develop simple heat adaptation strategies that also mitigate unsustainable energy demands and the destructive environmental impact of air conditioning.
