A climate safe room is an energy efficient room that remains comfortable in both summer and winter extremes, fully insulated and draft proofed with high efficiency air-conditioning and small solar systems to offset running costs.

The term was used as part of The Climate Safe Rooms project based in Australia, which focused on creating a safe haven in the homes of up to 16 people most at risk of serious illness or death from climate extremes.

"The project had six main outcomes."

* "Deliver individually designed Climate Safe Rooms up to 16 satisfied vulnerable residents who matched the selection criteria.
* Test and prove a corporate social responsibility (CSR) model through the delivery of a range of building types and cost of a single room vs whole home.
* Measure thermal efficiency performance, energy usage and affordability, health, and thermal comfort.
* Gather research into how improving home energy efficiency can benefit household energy use, thermal comfort and the health and wellbeing of the Geelong community.
* Distribute and publish research findings widely to assist with awareness and developmental growth. Additionally, contribute to the CSIRO research areas linking activities of daily living to environment and thermal comfort.
* Determine pathways to expand on the project at scale."
