Episode notes

Spending extended periods of time indoors during the COVID-19 lockdowns has put the performance of our housing into sharp focus.

At the same time, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent across the world. How can our housing be better designed and built to withstand increasing heatwaves and the impacts of longer, more intense bushfire seasons?

---

Our cities and regions need to support durable, environmentally sustainable housing that is cool in summer, warm in winter and that generates renewable energy in order to build climate resilience into our communities.
