Cooler Condos: How strata councils and residents can address overheating risk – and why they should

The “Cooler Condos” guide helps strata councils, owners, and residents understand why some buildings and suites are more vulnerable to overheating, what health and safety risks to watch for, and what practical steps can reduce the danger.

The free guide explains how overheating happens, how to identify higher-risk suites and residents, and what building-scale solutions can help—from active cooling and exterior shading to common-area cooling and interim suite-level measures. It also includes first steps for residents and councils who want to start the conversation in their building.
