Abstract
⺠Effect of future temperature change is modelled for four existing English home types. ⺠All homes were found to be at risk of overheating in future climate scenarios. ⺠Passive adaptation measures were tested for effectiveness in reducing this risk. ⺠Shading and exterior surface albedo reduction are noticeably most effective. ⺠External insulation is more effective than internal insulation.
