This paper titled, “The Rapid Progress of Climate Change Requires Effective Concepts for Protecting People Indoors” is published in WIREs Climate Change.

As climate change progresses, society is increasingly exposed to extreme weather events. It is therefore necessary to adapt our buildings, housing infrastructure, and logistics to protect people and provide them with an appropriate living environment.

We need to place greater emphasis on the importance of the indoor environment in the context of climate change. Key issues for solutions aimed at improving indoor conditions must include thermal comfort, ventilation, and the reduction of air pollutants.
