## Resource

As UK heatwaves intensify, schools and buildings are being forced to confront a harsh reality: they weren’t designed for extreme heat. With classrooms turning unbearable and closures becoming common, experts are urging a shift from costly air conditioning to smarter, passive cooling solutions like reflective roofs, better insulation, and external shading. Innovative tech, such as sun-reflecting glass coatings, promises energy savings without power. Meanwhile, the government is investing in climate-resilient school designs, signaling that adapting our built environment is no longer optional—it’s essential.
