Hanns-Christian Gunga is a senior professor at the Institute for Physiology at the Charité in Berlin, where he heads the Center for Space Medicine and Extreme Environments. His current book “Deadly Heat: What extreme temperatures do to the body and how we can protect ourselves” was recently published.

There is no air conditioning and the glass front has no ventilation options. Obviously, every mistake that can be made was made in the new building.
