What is heat exhaustion, and how does it occur?
There is a considerable focus on the rising temperatures we are seeing around the world. With the increase in warmth, it is starting to create a rise in heat exhaustion occurrences worldwide. To forestall this, architects and designers look at sustainable and greener ways to protect workers and reduce its incidences. One of these ideas is to use a traditional French piece of their architect in the shape of the Brise Soleil. This is a construction that creates shade and deflects the suns rays away from a building, especially its windows. One of the best creators of this is the company Aluminium Systems.
