Is the bedroom on the south side too warm?

As I said, I am a layman in this regard. But it is true that on the hottest days the sun is high, and a roof should then provide some shade in the bedroom. Brine is often touted because it can cool.

If you have a cantilever or roof overhang in front of the bedroom that provides shade, it might be possible.

Otherwise, I wonder why you need the best view in the bedroom ... You won't wake up with the sun anyway, it's either w/ east or because the roller shutters are closed.

Hello,
we will also have the bedroom facing south, we wanted the dining area in the east because we like it when the sun shines in at breakfast and since the main area of the garden is in the east, we can overlook the garden while eating. And since we didn’t want the bedroom either facing the street or north, it turned out this way. A nice view from the bedroom, I find very nice when you wake up

I also think the view is great...and depending on when the blinds go up and when you get up, you either have sunshine or not...

But the heat is not to be underestimated and especially when the sun is really high, the house gets a lot of it...

If you don't have the roof coated, the heat eventually ends up in the house...and if it was built according to today's standards, the heat usually stays inside...

We also thought at first it would be fine, but in the second year, the air conditioning came in

Indeed, summer heat protection is also a material property. Check out heat protection properties at u-wert.net. If you register, you can also see what the heat input in joules from a south-facing window means. But truly believe that with a proper roof overhang (= summer: sun is high -> shade, winter: sun is low -> sun in the bedroom) and shutters at midday combined with some heat-storing material, you don’t have to give up even in summer.

So, we don't have any heat in the south-facing rooms. They all have triple-glazed windows and the south side is also insulated in a passive house style (I started with the south, I'm doing the facade myself). No roof overhang, no shutters. The south-facing rooms are just as warm/cold as everywhere else. We now have a split air conditioning unit in one of the rooms, powered by photovoltaics. Since all the rooms are open (without doors), the little unit can heat and cool the entire floor. Very pleasant in summer, I suppose. It was only installed in October, so I'm now curious about the summer. It didn't even cost 900 euros with complete installation and commissioning, and I wouldn't want to do without it anymore.
