Which buildings are the hardest to overheat in the heat: a scientist explains

The article discusses which types of buildings in Ukraine heat up the most during hot weather and provides advice on how to cool homes effectively. According to Dr. Andriy Yavorovsky, a technical scientist and professor at the Ivan Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas, classical Soviet panel buildings tend to overheat the most due to their thin concrete walls and lack of insulation. In contrast, brick houses have thicker walls that absorb heat more efficiently, leading to cooler interiors. Modern constructions vary, but those with large glass panes, especially facing west, can lead to significant overheating. The article also notes that top floors and apartments with windows facing south or west experience the highest temperatures.

Bias read (Center): The article presents an objective explanation of building materials and their thermal properties, focusing on scientific principles rather than taking a stance on any political issue. It does not favor any particular group, ideology, or policy, and remains neutral in tone and content.
