Heat Events & Indoor Air: Protecting Respiratory Health
August 6, 2026 | 1:00 - 2:30 PM ET
 Learn why indoor air matters more than ever — register now for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s webinar, Heat Events and Indoor Air: Protecting Respiratory Health!
Extreme heat events are a growing public health threat. When indoor temperatures rise, people can suffer from potentially deadly illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Rising indoor temperature is also associated with reduced air quality, adversely impacting respiratory health. Join EPA’s Indoor Environments Division for a timely webinar to learn how indoor environmental management strategies can moderate temperatures indoors during extreme heat events and reduce occupant health risks.
From Outdoor Challenge to Indoor Protection
Webinar attendees will learn how to:
-
Identify key indoor environmental and building-related risk factors that contribute to heat exposure and adverse health outcomes, particularly for people at-risk from heat.
-
Explain how temperature, humidity, ventilation and building characteristics influence respiratory health, heat stress and indoor air quality.
-
Apply practical building science and indoor environmental management strategies — like passive cooling, shading, ventilation, filtration and active cooling — to reduce heat-related health risks in homes, schools and community settings.
