PROTOTYPE CASE STUDY · PUBLIC
A demonstration entry showing how a completed case can be presented. The scenario is illustrative and not a verified MCAP project.
Context
Extreme heat can limit safe access to public space and essential services. This prototype focuses on residents who need a nearby, clearly communicated place to cool down during heat events.
Description
A regional network coordinates libraries, community centres and other public buildings as temporary cooling spaces. A shared operating protocol defines activation thresholds, opening information and referral routes.
Actors & governance
The regional climate team convenes municipal public-health teams and facility operators. Local partners confirm site readiness and communicate opening hours.
Implementation considerations
- Agree activation thresholds before the heat season.
- Confirm accessibility, staffing and opening hours for every participating site.
- Publish changes through a single, maintained source.
Transfer potential
The transferable principle is a shared service standard across existing public facilities; the specific activation threshold and operating hours remain context-dependent.
