Maximum room temperature?

So our friends have almost 50cm brick walls and for them it is wonderfully comfortable...without any air conditioning, without a basement and outside temperatures of 39°

The more massive the wall, the longer it can withstand the high temperatures. A thick concrete roof would be ideal - but other alternative additional roof insulation types also help a bit. I will inquire about a central air conditioning system. I have read something about around 4,000 euros, which I am happy to consider worth it.

I really don’t understand this question again ....? Do you believe it would be cooler for other homeowners – except those with air conditioning?

In Germany it’s getting warmer; prepare yourself and buy an air conditioning unit if it’s too warm for you!

That was an honest question, purely out of curiosity, as I am not really familiar with this topic. If, for whatever reason, you can’t understand that, it’s okay, but then spare me the arrogant answer!

Thanks to everyone else for their constructive contributions.

"pleasant" is very subjective. When it was 40 degrees outside, the 25 inside on the ground floor also felt pleasant to me. I think that it is not the walls THAT are important, but especially good shading of the windows (otherwise a lot of energy gets in) and roof insulation that keeps heat out. Otherwise, even a brick house will not fall below the average outside temperature after a week of heat.

Good morning

I don’t understand the question about the defect either.

But do you expect frozen products in a freezer filled with few items (thermal mass) after days without active cooling (plug pulled)?

Hello,

That was an honest question, purely out of curiosity,

I consider that a belated excuse!

If for whatever reason you can’t understand that, that’s okay, but then save yourself the arrogant response!

Oh – I understand the question very well. It is less the question itself that bothers me, but rather the intention behind it. Something like asking "how is it with you in similarly built single-family homes" – "how do you deal with it?" – "what do you do about it?" I would have left uncommented.

Your budget is probably pretty empty – quite normal after surviving the house-building adventure. I can also imagine that there are still many smaller tasks to be done and that you have to wait until some savings are available again. Also normal; you are in good company.

Not normal – and that’s why I responded – is your openly declared search for someone to “blame,” because you – what? Didn’t pay much attention to summer heat protection during the planning of your house? Skipped a heat generator that can also cool? Possibly a controlled residential ventilation system? The budget no longer allows the purchase of an air conditioning unit?

It is a widespread – and in my view – very unpleasant habit to presumptively assign supposed “fault” to the house provider, with the aim of transferring money to one’s own account. Because that’s nothing else you meant with the postscript “Is that ‘normal,’ or a reason to complain??”

As long as this kind of attitude is posted publicly here, I will respond to it; regardless of the sensitivity to unwanted comments.

Rhenish greetings
