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.

Yes, leaving it open overnight is certainly more effective. However, for completely different reasons, I would never consider doing that. Besides, this was not the subject of the discussion, which focused on airing out in the morning. So please do not take statements out of context.

26°C (79°F) in the living room with shading. The rest of the house is the same.Same here, at 10 PM. It’s currently 28°C (82°F) outside.
This is my comfortable temperature.
I went to Ikea after work. It has rarely been this quiet. So I escaped the heat pressure on the terrace.
At our place, the filters are not changed twice a day. To change them, you open the cover, remove both filters, loosen 6 or 8 screws, take out the heat recovery unit, insert the summer cassette/bypass, and then put everything back in place. Then you adjust the program via the control panel.
We change them twice a year—not too early, not too late. Otherwise, the compressor would start and warm up the incoming air.
I have no idea if there are systems that switch over at the push of a button.
Unfortunately, controlled ventilation systems do not provide cooling. Although, in theory, it could work with our system. There are no experiments or tests yet. If an update were available, I would say, provide it and I’ll install it immediately.
With negative pressure through controlled ventilation, the air exchange can occur somewhat faster.

Manual ventilation isn’t always safe everywhere. The newspaper recently reported that break-in rates increase during heatwaves.
Active cooling is probably really necessary.With heatwaves lasting this long, only air conditioning helps. The walls, floors, and everything else heat up. When you ventilate, the air exchanges briefly, but immediately all the materials release heat like an oven into the new air. So, ventilating is almost pointless.Similar topics
