As heatwaves become more frequent, hotels, offices and factories are investing in new ways to keep buildings cool and workers productive. The boutique La Maison Hotel in Munich thought it was ready for rising temperatures. But after Germany's recent heatwave hit 41 degrees Celsius, the guests are asking for air conditioning service which is not available right now. Businesses across Germany are now investing billions of euros in cooling technologies. But the cost of doing nothing could be even greater. According to Allianz Research, rising temperatures are driving up business costs by reducing productivity and increasing energy use. Every degree above 30 degrees Celsius cuts worker productivity by around 3 percent per hour. Sick leave rises by 3.5 percent, climbing to 6 percent during prolonged heatwaves. Across Germany, those losses could add up quickly. Demand for cooling is also pushing up electricity prices. During the last heatwave, Germany's wholesale electricity prices jumped more than fivefold overnight, as solar power output dropped while demand for cooling remained high. Hazem warns the economic costs could climb even faster unless emissions are cut. Shotlist: Munich, Germany - Recent: 1. Various of hotel exterior, interior; 2.

WBALflipped into WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore2:521 day agoMexican eatery burglarized once again in Southeast BaltimoreWBALOne Southeast Baltimore business had to once again replace their front door after an overnight break-in Wednesday. "I think it's just sad considering it's a small business, it's in the community," said Nydia, who frequents the Taqueria El Sabor Del Parque Mexican Restaurant. "You shouldn't want to break into an area that's feeding your community so it's just sad." Baltimore Police confirm officers responded to a commercial burglary at 3 a.m. on Wednesday at the Mexican eatery on Eastern Avenue. Surveillance video shows three suspects shattering the glass door and entering the restaurant. Police said they took the register before running from the location. "According to the owner, it was basically a smash, grab and run type of situation where they ran in and grabbed the cash box and then ran out," said Arch McKown, who is on the Baltimore Police Southeastern District Community Relations Council. "But the cash box is empty because they don't ever keep money overnight." McKown expressed frustration knowing this isn't the first time the business has had to replace a more than $500 door due to people breaking-in.
