As a comfort driven approach, the Passivhaus standard includes a summer overheating criterion which requires that internal temperatures do not exceed 25ºC for more than 10% of the year. However, as with all models, the assessment is highly dependent on the assumptions that are made during the modelling process. We need to ensure that the result remains robust when those assumptions vary, for example as occupant behaviour changes, or as the climate warms.|2021|**[[https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/|Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK]]** | |[[https://passivhaus.uk/keeping-cool-avoiding-overheating-risks/|{{:picopen:avoiding_summer_overheating.png?150|}}]]| \\ **[[https://passivhaus.uk/keeping-cool-avoiding-overheating-risks/|Avoiding summer overheating]]** \\  \\ Recent summer heatwaves have made us more aware than ever that the risk of overheating in both new and existing buildings demands attention – and is likely to become even more of a concern as our climate warms.
