Pleased to have worked with Professor Patrick James and his team at Southampton and @garywalpole on this important research. It shows that overheating is going to be a real issue for certain building types such as flats and loft/dormer conversions /1

When a roof has to be repaired there's no leaving early to watch the match...
Lincoln Police@LincolnPoliceUK
Reports of a male on the roof of a high building with his head in his hands. Multiple units deployed. Including @lincsCOPter . No trace of the male. Suddenly he emerges from the front door with ladders.. He's a roofer who was in despair at the scale of the job he was looking at!
