Cool clothes for hot buildings
Our planet is running a fever: it's getting warmer and warmer. People who live in the city are feeling this most of all. When the sun shines, houses and streets often get so hot that you can fry fried eggs on them.
But how can we make our cities cooler and more liveable? Prof. Christina Eisenbarth gets to the bottom of this question and shows how houses can be equipped with “cool clothes” - with special fabrics that cool like a wet T-shirt in summer. She explains exactly how this works in the children's lecture.
