Hello everyone,
I have a general question.
We moved into our new build four months ago. The living area on the ground floor has three large floor-to-ceiling windows facing south. We have underfloor heating and an air-to-water heat pump.
It provides a really comfortable temperature inside the house, but we have a problem – whenever the sun is shining in winter, even if it’s -2°C (28°F) outside, the temperature suddenly rises to 24°C (75°F) in the living room. It gets uncomfortably warm in here, and the underfloor heating can’t be turned down quickly.
Should we assume that the large floor-to-ceiling windows are responsible for the heat gain? A photo of the south-facing side of the house is attached.
What would you do – always lower all the blinds as soon as sunlight is forecast? That seems quite annoying...
We have motorized blinds controlled by Somfy. Would you consider buying a sensor that automatically lowers the blinds at a certain temperature?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Could you please post a table like the one from Monday again?

You’re way too restless... with the outdoor temperature being so unstable anyway.
It needs to get colder so you can properly balance the system. Yes, I know, but at 22.5°C (72.5°F) in the bedroom at night, it really becomes unbearable.

Good with the float!
Could you please post a table like the one on Monday again?I'll do that later. I was also able to open the bathroom float a bit more, about half a turn. Let's wait and see. I'll make the table later. But first, I need to eat.Similar topics
