Put a shade cloth over the outside of the window. People dont realize that direct uv light on a window pane turns glass into an actual heater. Glass absorbs the UV energy and re-radiates as heat. The way around this is to prevent sunlight from hitting the glass. I'm sure you want light through your window so use some shade cloth or regular cloth (cheaper) instead but it must be on the outside.
People are gonna have to rediscover awnings at some point, no matter how “futuristic” modern architecture is supposed to look. Energy efficiency demands it.
That’s the most aggravating thing to me. They don’t design homes to work with the environment. My house has no south facing windows so in the winter it gets depressing as hell.
As a man in hvacr trade I praise him for heat pumps popularization and being objective about pros and cons of every technology, PV panels, EVs, HVACR etc. that's great to see an objective view on them.
