Professor Rajat Gupta was featured in an iNews article on 31 July 2026, exploring how cool roofs can help buildings cope with severe heatwaves.

Key points cover:

Passive heat reduction: Reflective coatings reduce solar absorption and lower indoor temperatures, offering a simple, low-carbon cooling strategy for exposed top-floor homes.
Whole-building approach: Reflective surfaces are most effective when paired with external shading, insulation, and effective ventilation.
Reducing AC reliance: Prioritising passive prevention helps keep homes safe without relying on energy-intensive air conditioning.

The research supports the core mission of HEARTH to deliver evidence-based solutions for health, extreme heat, and net-zero transitions.
