Perry Weather

In case you missed it, one of the hottest rooms in the United States just opened last week. 🔥

The Perry Weather Heat Lab at the University of North Florida's Korey Stringer Institute is officially open for business, and it can recreate the exact extreme heat conditions laborers, warfighters, and athletes face in the field.

And with the lab located in the heart of Jacksonville, researchers are positioned to study not just acute heat exposure, but chronic heat exposure and its long-term effects.

Hear from our Director of Science, David Martin, and Gabrielle Brewer, Postdoctoral Research Associate at UNF, on the research planned for the lab in the years ahead.

🚧 We're closing out Construction Safety Week with an announcement you're going to want to hear. 🚧

We compiled a report that takes heat stress data from thousands of Perry Weather stations and matches it against where America's largest construction projects are being built.

The overlap is striking.

The counties across the US powering America's construction boom are the same counties where heat is hitting hardest. The report is linked in the comments.

But the work doesn't stop at the report.

We're partnering with the Korey Stringer Institute and the University of North Florida to soon open a state-of-the-art heat lab, a place to recreate the exact conditions workers face on a jobsite and test interventions like hydration, rest, and cooling to the test.
