Dawei Li et al., “Escalating global exposure to compound heat-humidity extremes with warming,” Environmental Research Letters 15, no. 6 (2020): 064003. While heat risk is frequently framed in relation to outdoor exposure, heat can be dangerous to human health indoors at much lower temperatures, with 29 degrees Celsius as a general agreed upon safe limit for indoor temperature. See ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy, 2023.
