Heerkul xad-dhaaf ah oo ka jira guryaha bulshada NSW sababo la'aanteed heerarka kulaylka
Daraasad cusub oo ay sameeyeen jaamacadda Western Sydney ayaa muujisay khatarta kulaylka ee kireeyayaasha guryaha bulshada
Daraasad cusub ayaa shaaca ka qaaday in la'aanta heerarka kulaylka ee guryaha bulshada ee NSW ay khatar kulayl baahsan ku hayso kireeyayaasha. Kireeyayaasha Greater Sydney waxay la kulmeen heerkul gudaha ah oo gaaray 29C muddo 70 maalmood ah xilliga xagaaga.
Masiibo kulayl ah oo reer South Windsor ku dhacday
Mark Hartley wuxuu ku nool yahay guri bulsho oo ku yaal South Windsor oo uu ku tilmaamay 'fibro dog box' oo aan lahayn insulation, qaboojiye ama dabayshii dhex-marin lahayd. Qolkiisa hore wuxuu gaaray 42C hal xagaagii dhowaan, wuxuuna ka sarreeyay 35C muddo 11 saacadood ah.
Mark wuxuu carro ugu leeyahay inuu gurigiisa ka baxo markuu kululaado, isagoo u taga qaranka Webiga Hawkesbury. Gurigiisa wuxuu laga sameeyay asbestos, sidaa darteed dalool laguma qodo ilaa uu xidho suudh hazmat.
Natiijooyinka daraasadda iyo digniinta borofisar
Daraasad ay hogaaminayeen cilmi-baarayaasha Jaamacadda Western Sydney ayaa muujisay in guryaha bulshada ay gaareen 29C muddo 70 maalmood ah, iyadoo loggers la isticmaalay. Prof. Sebastian Pfautsch wuxuu sheegay inaanay jirin heerar kulayl oo NSW.
Pfautsch wuxuu digniin geliyay in kireeyayaasha Western Sydney ay la kulmi karaan 148 maalmood oo ka sarraysa 29C markaaba 2060. Daraasadda waxaa lagu daabacay Urban Climate, waxaana socota El Nino oo abuura cimilo diirran.
Tallaabooyinka dowladda iyo maamulayaasha guryaha
Homes NSW waxay iyada oo qayb ka ah SHEPI horumariyay waxtarka tamarta in ka badan 11,000 guri tan iyo 2024. Wasiiraha Guryaha Rose Jackson wuxuu sheegay in dhammaan guryaha aan la habeyn karin, laakiin la beddelayo kuwa duug ah.
Link Wentworth ayaa xaqiijisay in guryaha duug ah ay u baahan yihiin maalgelin, iyagoo dhammeeyay $1.3 milyan oo casriyayn ah 2025. Ma jirto heer gooni ah oo kulaylka NSW, laakiin dhismayaasha cusub waxay raacayaan NCC.
Study finds homes reaching 42C indoors while residents cope with health and cost burdens
A new study shows a lack of thermal standards in NSW social housing is exposing tenants to extreme heat risks. In Greater Sydney, indoor temperatures reached 29C for 70 days in one summer. Researchers say standards must be lifted across the state.
Tenants endure extreme heat at home
Mark Hartley lives in a social housing home in South Windsor described as a 'fibro dog box' with no insulation, air-conditioning or cross-breeze. His front room reached 42C and stayed above 35C for 11 hours in one recent summer. He drives to the Hawkesbury River banks to cool off when the home gets too hot.
Hartley's home contains asbestos, so he cannot get a hole drilled without a hazmat suit. Using an air-conditioner pushed his electricity bill to $500 a quarter. Lynne Dunn, an age pensioner in Richmond, lives in an uninsulated one-bedroom fibro home and keeps curtains drawn with a fan on.
Study warns of worsening conditions
Researchers from Western Sydney University found social housing indoor temperatures hit 29C for 70 days, with above 35C for up to 32 days in one summer. Professor Sebastian Pfautsch said homes were built without thermal safety and no NSW standards exist.
Pfautsch said Western Sydney tenants will face up to 148 days above 29C by 2060. The study was published in Urban Climate. The Bureau of Meteorology declared an El Nino event bringing dry, warm east coast weather.
Government and providers respond
Homes NSW upgraded over 11,000 properties since 2024 under SHEPI. Minister Rose Jackson said not all homes can be retrofitted, so renewal projects like Waterloo Estate replace aging stock. No standalone thermal standard exists, but new builds follow codes updated late 2023.
Link Wentworth said older properties need major investment and completed $1.3 million upgrades in 2025. The provider noted low rental income limits upgrades without government funding. Continued investment is urged to help residents cope with extreme weather.
