ADAPT

Overheating and thermal stress - mitigation and adaptation strategies

Program Interreg Great Region 2021-2027
A Greener Great Region

 

OVERVIEW:

As recent years have demonstrated, climate change is leading to more frequent and more intense heat waves. In light of these alarming indications, it is vital to implement measures in the building sector with the aim of protecting people better and adapting buildings to the challenges posed by climate change. As part of the Adapt project, a monitoring system is being developed in the countries of the Greater Region and will be installed in buildings where vulnerable individuals are present. The system will record the temperature in the room and transmit this data to a central platform in real-time. Once the data has been analyzed, an alarm will be sent to users if a defined limit value is exceeded, along with instructions on the appropriate measures to be taken. The regional context of the Greater Region makes it possible to set up an early warning system that does not yet exist. The project will directly contribute to developing awareness of the dangers and correct behavior during periods of heat, as well as sensitizing professionals and citizens to this issue through education
and training.
