What Participants Can Expect in the Lecture

Those who know about overheated rooms in the summer months will receive well-founded guidance instead of general tips. The lecture explains the basic principles of summer heat protection, shows advantages and disadvantages of different cooling concepts, and assesses when an air conditioning unit is actually useful. The focus will particularly be on measures that directly affect the indoor climate of residential buildings and contribute to energy efficiency in the long term.

Construction Solutions with Tangible Effect

The technical focus is on the building envelope: insulation, shading, and effective sun protection measures are at the center. Good heat protection begins here, as heat is intercepted before entering the building. This makes the event particularly interesting for homeowners, but also for anyone looking to compare renovation options for their home. Public funding can help financially assess the implementation.
