Heat wave in Brandenburg: How to stay cool and save!

Heat wave in Brandenburg: How to stay cool and save!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - Summer heat in Cologne has long been everyday life, and that will remain so in the future. According to MOZ.de , the summer in Brandenburg will not only be hot, but also longer. This development will also affect many Cologneers: concerns inside. So how do we keep a cool head in our apartments when the thermometer flows up?

Birgit Holfert from the Brandenburg Consumer Center offers valuable tips on heat protection measures in a website seminar. The most effective means include outside sun protection devices, such as blinds and awning that offer more effective coolness than internal solutions. The insulation of the building also plays a central role. We not only strengthen our summer comfort, but also enjoy a cozy winter when the cold taps on the doors.

coolers are

green roofs are more than just a nice sight - they improve the climate in urban areas. Climate devices can be an option, but you should consider well: Split devices cool efficiently, but are often also associated with higher costs. Alternative mobile mono block devices are cheap, but often bring more noise and less power.

Effective ventilation is an art in itself: at night you should open the windows wide to let the cool night air in, while the windows should remain better during the day. There are many factors behind the high temperatures in our living rooms, such as inadequate sun protection or poor thermal insulation. Targeted improvement is required here.

• white or reflective surfaces indoors can also help.
• solid sun protection through shutters or awnings is recommended.
• The attachment of sun protection films can also help.

funding opportunities for new buildings and renovations

A topic that many Cologne homeowners might be interested in: the extensive funding opportunities for buildings in need of renovation are. The federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG) is continued in accordance with bafa . This funding supports owners in renovating their buildings energy -efficiently and thus saving energy costs, acting sustainably and implementing climate -friendly measures.

With up to 15% funding for individual measures, the BAFA is an interesting point of contact. The exchange of heating or insulation measures in particular can be significantly cheaper. The combination of different funding is possible, but not at the same time with tax relief.

particularly highlighted is the new building funding "climate -friendly new building", which has been in force since 2023. Budgeted with almost 2 billion euros, around 46,000 new apartments have already been funded, such as bundes- Government.de . Hurried would have been advisable to plan quickly - because after December 14, 2023, no new applications can be made.

we can breathe a sigh of relief, even if the heat wave is at the door. With the right measures and possibly funding in the back, we manage to keep our apartments comfortable and cool. There is nothing in the way of the hot summer days in Cologne!
