# Study Finds Extreme Heat in Vienna Senior Homes

August 25, 2026 at 06:51 PM

> Greenpeace and BOKU Vienna report indoor temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, prompting calls for legal rights to external sun protection.

A study by **Greenpeace**, the Seniorenrat, and BOKU **Vienna** reveals extreme heat in Viennese senior households. Between June and August, seven of twelve monitored homes exceeded 30 degrees Celsius for at least nine days, with one reaching that peak for 26 days.

In August, five apartments stayed above 30 degrees almost continuously. Half of the households saw temperatures remain above 27 degrees for 25 days. Participants reported physical exhaustion and circulatory issues due to poor insulation and sealed areas.

Greenpeace expert Marc Dengler and President Ingrid Korosec blame a lack of sun protection. Dengler is calling on Ministers Totschnig and Babler for a renovation offensive, rent reductions for heat, and a legal right to install external shading systems.
