What Dr Chengzhi Peng has said
“Many of our hospital buildings were not designed to cope with the extreme heat events we now face. Our goal is to move beyond temporary fixes by piloting the Disparity-Aware Paediatric-specific Heat Vulnerability Index (DAP-HVI) methodology. This pioneering tool will integrate building performance data with patient vulnerability factors, allowing us to accurately identify high-risk areas and implement cost-effective sustainable cooling solutions that are proven to be safe, feasible, and equitable for every child receiving care.”
