DIY Passive Cooling Techniques for Residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside
Report- Developed as a part of the Sustainability Scholars Project, UBC Sustainability Hub
The objective of this report is to explore immediate remedies, focusing on do-ityourself (DIY) cooling options that are quick, affordable, and effective temporary solutions and to also support Vancouver's Climate Change Adaptation Plan Objective 4.2 which aims to reduce morbidity and mortality during heatwaves. By conducting research, and recommending practical solutions, the report aims to strengthen the ability of vulnerable populations, especially in the DTES, to withstand extreme heat events.
