In a continuously warming planet, energy poverty is gaining increased attention in many overheated cities across the world. In slum housing, overheating problems can be severe, greatly exceeding the indoor temperatures that occur in low-cost or old dwellings that also lack mechanical cooling systems. This study presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of thermal envelope improvement measures for slum dwellings in the warmer regions of the globe. The study is structured on validated EnergyPlus simulation models of typical poor slum construction, with standard and improved low-cost thermal configurations. These models are then tested in different worldwide locations, where results indicate a reduction in indoor temperature with the full upgrade strategy.
