Summer heat insulation will become increasingly important in the future due to climate change with increasing periods of heat. The development of strategies to avoid overheating of interior spaces with passive measures is therefore of immense importance. In a parameter study, the influence of passive measure packages, climate data as well as usage and façade types is investigated. For this purpose, sample rooms for residential, office and school use are modeled at different locations. Future test reference years express the effects of the expected climate change. A legal opinion evaluates the requirements for summer heat insulation in the Building Energy Act. Recommendations for action are derived from the results of the study.
