Hello, we have received information from the structural engineer through our general contractor for our new house construction, for which the building application is currently with the district authority, that the summer heat protection in the living room unfortunately cannot be met. Too much window area in relation to the room size. With the note that the summer heat protection is regulated in the heat protection certificate according to the Building Energy Act 2020. This is a legal requirement and must be complied with. The recommendation is the installation of sun protection glass, which I find very unfavorable, as this would make the room darker all year round. The absurd thing is that there is a huge oak tree on the south side of the property, so the living room windows will be in the shade most of the day. Another alternative would be roller shutters, another 3000€, for something we will never need for the above-mentioned reason. The sun protection glass would be about 1000€ cheaper but would significantly reduce the quality of living. Is there any cheaper option to fulfill the heat protection certificate? Due to the shady property, the risk of room overheating is absolutely not to be expected...
