EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exposure to suboptimal temperatures has a high morbidity rate in the Region of the Americas, which varies depending on the local context. The effects of climate change will increase the intensity and frequency of extreme heat, affecting the health and well-being of the most vulnerable populations, especially in urban areas. Building codes for residential structures focused on climate sustainability and energy efficiency are in place, but there is no data reflecting their health benefits for residents, undermining potential benefits, as occupants of these indoor spaces bear a significant share of the responsibility. This study aims to assess the health perceptions of occupants in existing residences that do or do not meet standards<\/p>\n\n\n\n
