As the UK begins to see some spring sunshine, many are asking if we can expect a heatwave this summer…
Now that spring has arrived and temperatures are slowly starting to rise, thoughts have turned to when we can expect warmer weather and when summer starts. Last year saw record temperatures in the UK, with some areas experiencing highs of 40C in what became a sweltering summer – and the warmest on record.
Forecasts suggest that 2023 could see heatwave in the UK, with the return of the ‘El Niño’ climate phenomenon making it likely that the world will exceed 1.5C of warming.
After the scorching days of 2022, ensuring employers are comfortable in an office environment is a challenge for most facilities managers.
Thermal Comfort regulations recommend the use of blinds as an internal shading product as the most effective way to reduce heat and thermal radiation. Office Blinds Direct in Birmingham worked with The Warwick Group in 2022 to refurbish existing blinds, and install new thermal comfort blinds in their Pershore Road temporary office, ensuring that workers remained cool in summer.
Office Blinds Direct in London, reduced the boardroom temperatures dramatically to bring cooling costs down in The Soho Consortium offices in Mayfair-completing the installation in 4 days.
