In climates with
significant outdoor heat and humidity, an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) would be preferred to pre-cool and pre-dry incoming air using the cool and dry exhaust air.4 Of course point sources of pollutants, such as the kitchen stove and bathroom would have dedicated exhaust fans to remove these pollutants.
If your dog spends
significant time
outdoors, however, he / she must be protected by a dry, draft - free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his / her body
heat.
Significant investments may be required to ensure that power generation keeps up with rising demand associated with rising temperatures.38, 39 Finally, vulnerability to
heat waves is not evenly distributed throughout urban areas;
outdoor versus indoor air temperatures, air quality, baseline health, and access to air conditioning are all dependent on socioeconomic factors.29 Socioeconomic factors that tend to increase vulnerability to such hazards include race and ethnicity (being a minority), age (the elderly and children), gender (female), socioeconomic status (low income, status, or poverty), and education (low educational attainment).
