The government wants better heat protection. This is for flats and schools. Many rules exist for cool machines now. Tenants need permission from the owner. Owners must ask all other owners. This changes in autumn.
A new law removes rules. People build cool machines easier then. This helps against big summer heat. Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler says: Heat hurts health. Flats must stay cool in summer.
Schools must be cooler too. Older buildings get new windows or sun shade. The government plans more plants in school yards. The education office makes rules for next summer. Environment Minister Norbert Totschnig praises good house insulation.
