Free Webinar: Beating the Heat: Preparing Schools for Extreme Heat Resiliency, August 28
Event Description

According to NASA and NOAA global temperature reports, 2023 was the world's hottest year on record, and rising temperature trends are only predicted to continue. School systems across the country are already faced with challenges in combating the heat, from canceled school days and changing school year calendars due to lacking air conditioning to serving as community cooling centers. This webinar will focus on extreme heat mitigation strategies at schools, including schoolyards, ventilation systems, and resilient power systems, through case studies and research presented by school leaders and field experts. Following the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to join breakout discussions on each mitigation strategy led by the expert presenters.
