Living space adaptation advice provides information about effective measures in summer heat
Summer has been officially since June 21 - but the heat also increases the risk of health problems for older, needy and living people. Extreme heat periods can lead to exhaustion or even heat slaughter. The Housing Adjustment Consulting of the Groß-Gerau district therefore provides practical information on heat protection in everyday life.
Among other things, it is recommended to relocate physical exertion to the cooler morning or evening hours and to wear light clothing. It is particularly important to drink sufficiently - if necessary, drink reminder can help. For example, this is a sensor that is placed on bottles or glasses and regularly flashes.
Even medication should not be exposed to direct sun, since high temperatures can affect their effects.
So the apartment remains cool
In order to effectively protect the apartment from heat, targeted measures help:
- Air ventilation in the cool morning and evening hours
- Automatic blinds or darkening roller blinds - best controllable via app or radio - especially on south windows
These technical solutions are particularly useful for impaired or bedridden people. Under certain conditions, the nursing care fund can grant grants as a measure of living environment.
