Combating overheating in my building,
is it possible?
Overheating in buildings is an increasingly common problem, especially with the onset of summer and the accompanying temperature rises. This phenomenon is due to buildings that are generally poorly designed, insulated or equipped. Excessive exposure to the sun can also be a major factor in overheating your building. So what can you do to solve this problem?
Our solutions to get your building through the summer
-
Insulation, your best ally. By insulating your roof, walls and floors, you prevent warm outside air from entering the building and weighing down the atmosphere.
-
Use external blinds or shutters to reduce the amount of heat entering your building. Extra tip: avoid interior blinds, as they will be less effective.
-
Implement a ventilation strategy by airing out your rooms at the coolest times of the day to lower the indoor temperature. Don't forget to close your windows as soon as the temperature rises, to prevent warm air from entering your building.

Need fresh air? Installing an inexpensive, environmentally-friendly cooling system can help you cool the air in your building.
Opt for adiabatic technology
Choosing evaporative cooling for your building is the key to a comfortable building in both summer and winter. Why do it? With this system, warm outside air is cooled by water vapour before entering the building, keeping it cool inside. What's more, the use of water creates humid air, creating a fresh atmosphere in your buildings.
As these are not the only advantages, cooling also provides constantly renewed air, making your building healthier for its occupants.
In short, to remedy the major problem of overheating in buildings, several solutions are available, ranging from passive measures such as insulation or the installation of blinds, to active measures such as the installation of a cooling system adapted to the type and volume of your space.
By acting now, you can improve the comfort of your building and combat climate change at the same time. Together, let's make our buildings a haven against rising temperatures!
