HEATE

Flyers



What are we interested in studying?


There is a gap for understanding the impacts of extreme weather in New York City on indoor residential temperatures. We want to know how cold apartments get in the winter and how hot apartments get in the summer in
NYC, relative to outdoor temperatures.

Why are we interested in this?


Throughout NYC, people are exposed to extreme temperatures in their homes—this directly impacts quality of life. While HEATE is not a quick fix to this problem, collecting data to support related policy agendas is the first step toward addressing this challenge.

How are we conducting our study?


We are installing two temperature monitors in apartments throughout Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx which will collect data on temperature and relative humidity throughout the coming year.
