Temperatures are rising: Are your properties ready?
What do rising temperatures do to the buildings we live and work in? And why are heat and water two sides of the same coin when we talk about climate risks?

About the event
Temperature as the overlooked risk
When we talk about climate adaptation in the real estate industry, the conversation is almost always about water - cloudbursts, flooding, and rising groundwater. But there is another climate risk that less frequently makes it onto the agenda: the temperature itself.
Denmark is already 1.8 degrees warmer than before industrialisation, which is more than the global average. Summers are warmer, periods of drought are longer, and heatwaves are more frequent. And our buildings, constructed for a climate we no longer have, are not prepared.
What do rising temperatures do to the buildings we live and work in? And why are heat and water two sides of the same coin when we talk about climate risks?
These are the questions we are focusing on on 20 August at ØENS HAVE on Refshaleøen.
The event is aimed at those who work professionally with real estate - and who want to understand what rising temperatures concretely mean for the built environment.
Come and get wiser - from heatwave to action plan.

Why participate
What you take home
Temperature as a climate risk
Concrete insights into what rising temperatures and more frequent heatwaves already mean for Danish properties today.
What heat does to the underground
Insight into how the drying out of clayey soil affects foundations and structures – and which buildings are most vulnerable.
Heat and water as interconnected risks
An understanding of why drought and downpours are not opposites – and why temperature is the key to both.
Knowledge you can take back
A professional basis for assessing the temperature risk in your own real estate portfolio.
