Prepare for the 2027 heatwaves!
Prepare for the 2027 heatwaves!
The 2026 heatwaves mark a turning point: earlier, more intense, and more frequent, they are forcing a rapid acceleration of adaptation measures. Financial support is shifting towards comprehensive solutions (renovation + summer comfort), but public budgets remain under pressure. Innovations and regional agreements show a willingness to act, yet industry players are calling for greater ambition.
Did you suffer during the last heatwave and feel concerned as the next one approaches? Start preparing now for next year! 📢
Insulate!
Before installing air conditioning, you need to improve your home's thermal envelope (roof, walls, windows, shutters, etc.). This will allow you to:
- Improve your home's ability to store heat thanks to insulation: prioritise materials with high thermal lag
- Enhance comfort by limiting overheating in certain areas of the house (converted attics, south- or west-facing rooms)
- Reduce your need for air conditioning, which means a smaller heat pump and lower costs 💰
- Lower your electricity consumption
It's not just about insulation, but also shading: shutters, pergolas, shade sails, etc.
Bonus: It works for winter too! 💡
Green your space!
- A planted garden or balcony can reduce local temperatures by 2 to 5 °C through plant evapotranspiration 🌿
- Vegetation captures up to 20% of fine particles 🌬️
- Green spaces reduce the temperature of mineral surfaces by 10 to 15 °C, helping to limit urban heat islands 🏙️
- Greening can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% during heatwaves ❄️
Cool your home
Have you already done all this, or at least everything possible? Does your property not allow for easy insulation or greening?
A reversible heat pump is here to save the day.
- It maintains a stable indoor temperature, even during heatwaves
- It reduces energy consumption by 25 to 50% compared to traditional heating or cooling systems ⚡
- It helps you save on energy bills thanks to its high efficiency (COP up to 4 or 5) 💰
- It limits CO₂ emissions by using renewable energy or low-impact refrigerants 🌍
