‘Cool Rooms’ aim to provide a shelter from the heat and offer a place to rest and cool down while being on the go. These rooms are located, for example, in churches, public institutions such as neighbourhood meeting places or senior leisure centres. They provide a cooler and more comfortable temperature compared to the prevailing outdoor temperature.
The facilities vary in terms of seating options, the availability of drinking water and restrooms, as well as by the provision of board games and magazines. Additionally, many of these rooms are accessible by wheelchair. Visitors can stay as long as the opening hours allow.
A poster indicates the presence of a ‘Cool Room’ and provides information on facilities and opening hours. A poster looks as follows:
