29 degrees in the ground floor despite internal shading

Correctly, it should be: "29 degrees on the ground floor DUE TO internal shading"

What does internal shading actually bring? A maximum of 0.5–1°C (0.9–1.8°F)?

Yeah... Of course, it makes sense to invest in external shading first before considering air conditioning.
Start with roof windows, then east/west, and only finally south.

We don’t have major issues with the temperatures. During the day, we keep the venetian blinds and roller shutters down, and despite the kids running in and out 100 times, the indoor temperature doesn’t rise above 23-24°C (73-75°F). When it cools down outside, we open the windows and run the mechanical ventilation system at full power. Currently, the living area is at 21.4°C (70.5°F).

Shading is the key with 16 hours of sunlight per day.

During the construction phase, yes. Once the damage is done, retrofitting external shading becomes very complicated. That’s when you really have to weigh the options carefully...

Actually, we are in the house building forum. ;-)

Of course, retrofitting is inconvenient – but it is usually possible. In my opinion, it is definitely more ecological and probably even more economical to first install exterior shading and then air conditioning. However, in the end, everyone has to calculate this for themselves, since "a piece of exterior shading" is quite individual.

Edit: It is 21.8 degrees Celsius (71.2°F).

In general, hardly anyone gives much thought to the topic of shading.
