More than 4.6m English homes at risk of overheating

Research by Loughborough University academics has estimated that more 4.6m homes across England are experiencing overheating during the summer, with bedrooms at night being particularly badly affected. The study, published in the Building and Environment journal, found that 4.6m bedrooms and 3.6m main living rooms were overheated during the summer. The study found that living room overheating was a particular issue in flats, and was more common in households living in social housing, with low incomes, or with members aged over state pension age.
