Abstract
During heat waves, room air temperatures without cooling can raise health risk levels. Therefore, it is important to study the actual room air temperatures in residential buildings during hot summers. In this study, the hourly indoor temperatures of 6057 apartments during the hot summer of 2021 were measured and analyzed in the Helsinki region. These apartments are different in size and age. The results showed that the indoor temperature in 96% of the apartments exceeded 27 C,, 34% exceeded 30 C, and around 5% of them exceeded 32 C. The results showed a significantly high risk of overheating in most of the apartments despite differences in room number and age.During heat waves, room air temperatures without cooling can raise health risk levels.
