Resilient cooling aims to mitigate heat stress and maintain safe building conditions during externally induced disruptions, going beyond mere thermal comfort. This Guidebook focuses on designing cooling systems that are resilient to such challenges.

A building’s cooling system is considered resilient when it can withstand or recover from disruptions caused by heat waves and power outages and adopt appropriate strategies to prevent degradation of the indoor environment.

This Guidebook is published from the cooperation between REHVA and the Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) programme of the International Energy Agency; Annex 80.
