Session 4: Summer comfort and cooling concepts
Friday, 10 September 2021
The effects of climate change have become very evident in recent years. It is therefore all the more important to consider summer thermal insulation and the resulting cooling loads in new buildings and renovations, and to provide reliable, cost-effective and low-consumption cooling concepts. Especially in warm climates, but also in mid-latitudes, we will increasingly have to deal with hot spells in the future. In this series of lectures, projects and studies from Southern Europe will be the topic, but also general guidelines and potentials for sustainable cooling here in Germany will be presented.

Guidance for robust summer comfort design Limiting the frequency of overheating in summer is gaining relevance with warming climate conditions. In order to raise awareness on the topic and encourage more robust design choices, PHI has developed a “summer comfort guideline”, as well as a stress-testing as part of the PHPP energy modelling.
