Recent reports reveal that many homes in Greece are becoming "thermal traps" during the summer months, with internal temperatures soaring to as high as 38 degrees Celsius. A study conducted by Greenpeace highlights that the phenomenon is particularly pronounced in older buildings, which often lack adequate insulation and climate control measures. This has significant implications for energy poverty, a condition affecting an increasing number of citizens during the sweltering summer heat.
According to the findings, the temperature inside Greek residences can range from 28 to 38 degrees Celsius, exacerbating discomfort and promoting health risks. Experts emphasize the urgent need for improved building standards and retrofitting measures to mitigate the impact of extreme heat. The current state of housing in Greece, particularly among older structures, contributes substantially to the ongoing energy poverty crisis, making it challenging for residents to maintain comfortable living conditions amid rising summer temperatures.
