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.

We are still living without a mechanical ventilation system (in the attic with huge windows and no external shading, so please don’t complain ) – how much effort is it to switch the bypass on and off? Do you just press a button, or do you have to start modifying things? Is it possible to change it twice a day? That would probably be ideal.

Is it just pressing a button, or do you have to modify things? Can you switch it twice a day? That would probably be ideal. You buy a system with an automatic bypass.

A mechanical ventilation system doesn’t really help with cooling. Even at night, it only manages about 1 to 2 degrees Celsius (2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit) of cooling. The only help is to open all the windows wide in the morning. So what’s the difference between outside air brought in via mechanical ventilation and air brought in manually by opening windows?
Nonsense.
The mechanical ventilation system completely exchanges the indoor air every 2.5 hours, making it much more effective than your 10 minutes in the morning. Plus, it’s automatic.
You can also do both.

And what is the difference between outdoor air supplied through a controlled mechanical ventilation system and air from manual ventilation?
Nonsense.
The controlled mechanical ventilation system completely replaces the indoor air every 2.5 hours, making it much more effective than your 10 minutes in the morning. Automatically, too.

Please think carefully BEFORE you write something. A controlled mechanical ventilation system has a volume flow rate that is far too low. You can figure out the rest yourself or look it up...
With a window, I can do what a controlled mechanical ventilation system does in a few seconds, max minutes.
And don’t come to me with monster-sized controlled mechanical ventilation systems. I’m talking about the standard systems installed in 99% of cases.
