Additional pressure on homeowners.
Apart from these extreme phenomena, rising temperatures will influence our comfort levels. In densely urbanized areas, for example, some homes could become very hot in summer, causing discomfort for their occupants. For the moment, this has no impact on sale prices or rents. But tomorrow, property owners could find themselves obliged not to exceed a maximum temperature within their walls, just as the law already provides for a guaranteed minimum temperature. This could result in additional air-conditioning costs or costly insulation work.
