We have roller shutters, we just didn’t expect such a high heat buildup (as you just calculated) from the pure sunlight through the windows during the first spring in the new house.
Yes, since retrofitting venetian blinds is usually very expensive and often not attractive, active cooling is probably the only option. Thanks to photovoltaics, though, it’s not quite so bad. ;)
Would you keep the controlled residential ventilation running normally in summer? We don’t have a summer cassette, so it runs with heat recovery. If it’s 32°C outside, 24°C inside (because of the air conditioning), and I then run the controlled residential ventilation, the house will get warmer again, right? The cooled air from the AC is transported outside, and the 32° outside air comes in? Then I have to use energy again to cool it down. Or am I thinking wrong?
Yes, keep it running, because that pretty much matches my figures. You need air anyway, and with heat recovery it’s only 25W of additional heat. With manual ventilation it would be much more! And your AC probably cools with 3000W or more. The one percent from the controlled residential ventilation won’t be noticeable in your power consumption, but you will definitely have better air.
