At the Lerchenfelder Gürtel next to the Thaliastraße subway station, Raintime fog technology is currently cooling what is probably the smallest “cool” road construction site in the city of Vienna. With the completion of the construction work, the quality of life here – with a place to linger and cool off – will be significantly enhanced.
This is another project of the city in the fight against the climate and heat crisis. In a place like this, right on the hot belt, people will find a welcome cooling off in the future.
The place where there was a snack stand before now offers the perfect area for a refreshing “cool” place in Ottakring after it has been removed. Perennial beds and trees are planted on around 130 square meters. In addition to single armchairs, double benches and a new drinking fountain, there are two fog steles from the Raintime company that invite people to refresh and to linger.

Ottakring’s district chairman Franz Prokop: “The cool place is the result of an Ottakring initiative. We are thus also creating a place in the Thaliastraße area to linger, cool off or simply chat with neighbors. I am very much looking forward to the implementation of the project and the small micro-free space that is being created here for our Ottakringers and I would also like to thank the City of Vienna.”(Source: press service Vienna)

Cool outdoor areas with fog technology
A cooling of the ambient temperature takes place with mist showers by the so-called evaporation cooling. This is created by pressing water through fine nozzles at high pressure. These fine water droplets (water mist) evaporate in the heat and cool down the ambient temperature.
