Heat wave in Brandenburg: Webseminar for effective heat protection!

Frankfurt (Oder), Deutschland - A hot summer is just around the corner - the first heat days in Brandenburg have already been reached and the predictions indicate that extreme temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius will become the norm in the coming months. In view of these developments, heat protection in your own four walls is worried. So that your apartment also becomes a cool oasis, the Brandenburg consumer center invites you to a free website on June 18 at 5 p.m. Energy consultant Birgit Holfert will give practical tips on how to keep the interiors pleasantly cool. From effective measures for cooling to the advantages of the greening and information to funding for heat protection measures - the event covers all important aspects. Interested parties can also ask their questions in chat, and after the event, a handout is made available that summarizes the most important points. The seminar takes about an hour and is a great opportunity to prepare for the coming hot days.

But why is heat protection actually so important? The increasing temperatures are a direct consequence of climate change, which is not only associated with heat waves, but also with droughts and heavy rain. The Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) emphasizes that children, old people, pregnant women and chronically ill and freely work are particularly at risk. It is therefore essential that cities and municipalities adapt to these changes. The expansion of urban greens, the planting of trees and the creation of "climate oases" should counter the heat problem. A strongly networked open space system ensures relaxation and shading, which can alleviate the heat in urban areas. These measures are part of a comprehensive heat protection strategy that is also to be anchored in new buildings. …

suggestions for heat provision

• create space for more green.
• powerful open space systems with recreation rooms and networked parks.
• Climate -active green infrastructure for shading and evaporation cooling.
• inner and back yard greening.
• More green on buildings.

For comprehensive protection against the heat, it is crucial that both existing buildings and new buildings take into account climate change. Current studies show that around 19 million residential buildings and around 21 million non -residential buildings in Germany should better protect against heat. The construction plays a crucial role here. An interdisciplinary exchange between universities, construction industry and tenants is necessary to develop innovative solutions and to strengthen the resistance of the buildings compared to heat and other natural hazards. Technical solutions such as sustainable shading materials and inexpensive devices for maintaining greening are also examined. Future Bau summarizes the possibilities ...

The adaptation strategy to climate change 2.0 and the initiatives for the design of climate -packed buildings are of the greatest importance for future living. The possibility of assessing the individual risk in terms of heat is provided by appropriate tools such as "GIS Immorisk". The BBSR is working on developing and spread structural solutions for heat provision. All of this shows how important it is that we adapt our living environment and our construction to the changing climatic conditions.

we summarize: If you don't want to sweat in these hot days, you should not only devote yourself to the valuable tips in the website seminar, but also think about how your own apartment can be built or redesigned. Summer not only brings joy, but also the responsibility to live and act in a changing environment.
