I read a fictional story that started with a heat dome over India that killed 20 million. The reason was that apart from the 40-50°C, the high humidity meant nobody could sweat to cool. Organ failure followed by death. It's no longer if but when.

Passive houses, of which there are fewer than 2,500 in the UK. They are designed to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer with minimal energy demand and continual fresh air. The capital cost difference has dropped to with 5-12%. This is recovered with 5-15 years, depending on design.
