For everyone still considering whether to install some form of cooling, I would say YES!
Today it’s almost 40°C (104°F) outside. Phew! Luckily, back then we opted for "cooling yes or no?" and chose yes.
Our cooling runs very energy-efficiently through our ground source heat pump in the floor (the cold is basically just pumped upwards). We have a comfortable 22.1°C (72°F) in the rooms.
Honestly, this climate change is really annoying me. If anyone has a plot of land to sell cheaply at the North Cape, please get in touch.

Yesterday and the day before, the temperature on the ground floor and upper floor was a maximum of 25°C (77°F). The day before yesterday with active controlled residential ventilation and yesterday for testing without controlled residential ventilation.
Right now, it is also only 25°C (77°F).

Last night, the ground floor temperature inside the house without cooling was 21.6°C (71°F), this morning 21°C (70°F), and the upper floor 23°C (73°F) — perfect temperature.
It will probably get a bit warmer over the next few days, as the temperature at night no longer drops below the room temperature. The ventilation system hasn’t turned on for three days now; I ventilate in the early morning hours, and that’s it.

Today we’re reaching nearly 40°C (104°F) outside. Phew! Luckily, we checked the box for "cooling yes or no?" back then.
It runs very energy-efficiently through our geothermal heating system integrated into the floor (the cool air is basically just pumped up). We have a comfortable 22.1°C (72°F) indoors.
Honestly, this climate change is driving me crazy. If anyone happens to have a plot of land for sale at the North Cape at a good price, please get in touch. We have air conditioning, and it was by far one of the best decisions for the house. But 22°C (72°F) inside when it’s almost 40°C (104°F) outside? That would be too cold for us. We currently keep the house at a steady 24°C (75°F) (only the bathrooms are warmer because they don’t have cooling) and 22°C (72°F) in the bedroom. Electricity consumption with extreme outdoor temperatures is about 10 kWh per day; normally it’s 2-3.
PS: We use minimal shading because we don’t want to sit in the dark.

It will probably get a bit warmer over the next few days since the nighttime temperature no longer drops below the room temperature. The ventilation hasn’t switched on for the past three days; I just ventilate early in the morning and that’s it.21.6°C (71°F) inside while it’s over 35°C (95°F) outside? Sorry, but I find that hard to believe. How is that supposed to work? Don’t you live in the house? Doors get opened, etc. What about cooking and so on? Maybe try using a calibrated thermometer?
With shading and careful management, our neighbors reach 25–26°C (77–79°F).
