Björn, you should plant some (a lot!) of trees 🌳 to give you some shade! It all looks rather empty around your house 🏠

[@deltajohnny]

It is forbidden to have very tall trees in his area 😉

[@CKOneK]

That's bad. Trees really are the best way to generate shade, while they still let pass enough light in autumn due to loosing the leaves.

[@deltajohnny]

​@@CKOneK Yes... he mentioned that his trees could only be 2,5 or 3 meters tall, I don't remember exactly. It's a pity... 😮‍💨😮‍💨

18:10 pleas visit the factory. Will be very interesting to see how they produce the sun screens 😍

[@mfurmyr]

Bjørn is now switching to Home Improvements. 😊 I hope you get a good deal.

[@tesla-rossa]

The structure looks great, especially with the white fabric! You can still install curtains on the inside of the entrance area, even if it's just for aesthetics. I would love to see the factory; it's always interesting!

[@londonwestman1]

I think I might opt for an in between medium or dark grey for the screens. As someone said, the aesthetic look of a white house with white screens might look a bit weird.

[@nobody-xt3zg]

16:39 PLEASE, have installed a snow fall protection to the roof in top of the main door. That nobody will get snow fron the roof in the head when it will drops down!!!!

[@donpatricio1927]

Do houses in Norway not have aluminum blinds? I live in Switzerland and during summer (hot days) I just let them down to keep it cold inside.

[@tschuuuls486]

FYI: Scandic seem to use Somfy motors inside the Zipscreen. So you can integrate it into Home Assistant with the hub and the Somfy integration and control it from a cheap tablet for example :)

[@JK-gv1dp]

My neighbour had a problem with heat coming through the much smaller windows/ doors and after he installed such zipscreens it's ok. I would start with this south windows and this one piece screen for upper part of the front west wall. All the best!!!

[@deltajohnny]

Here in Spain houses come with aluminum blinds, which have an insulatimg foam inside 😉

[@JW-mx3qg]

Makes total sense to go with the lighter screen option to reflect as much heat as possible.and having the wind sensor to retract the screen in high wind conditions would be advisable. Yes, purely having an HVAC heat pump to cool the house down would not be effective as you spend a lot of money counteracting the sunlight heat. Seems like a great product.

[@coulomjo]

This is very interesting! I had never heard of outside screens before. Looking forward to part two!

[@MrKroolboy]

Hope you get a collaboration or a good price on the products. All the best ✌️

[@KoalaBandit223]

Awesome. I'd like to see more home improvements videos! 👍I love how you have professionals come over to explain the details.

[@alvydasurbonas8913]

that's a lot of heat in the house. You could add some tropical plants inside and make it into tropical jungle :)

[@CX23882]

I think you'll be very satisfied. I'm in the UK and fitted external screens with black SunTex 80 mesh and they completely solved my overheating issues. The biggest improvements were in the south facing rooms, but it's also noticeable in evenings in the north rooms.

[@armini0]

We've gotten these installed too last year. Definitely worth it, out living room used to be like a greenhouse during the summer. We have the 3% see-through ones installed, very pleased with it. Also definitely get the wind/light sensors installed, that will make it a bit easier and more automatic in use. The screens go up too when it gets crazy windy to prevent any damage and such :) We'll definitely install more of these around the house, too bad it's so darn expensive to have! ~90k NOK for 3 screen spanning in total 10x2.4 meter.

[@murraybhenson]

Coincidentally, my wife and I have been looking for screens for some huge ~400x250 cm windows we have. We’re in Poland, but I managed to find a company near Katowice that offers Zipscreen products. We’re working with them now to get an estimate and to get moving on an installation.

[@walbergrobin]

We have installed dark grey zipscreens, and we definitely recommend it. Having light ones in direct sunlight will act as super bright lights/softboxes. Grey is also easy to keep clean.

[@davea691]

Also the reflection of light off of the parking space in front of the house contributes to the heating up of the house.

[@laurilaakso30]

Nice greenhouse 😂

[@Crusherix]

Plant some trees big enough to give you shade if it is allowed Björn, natural shade is the best. :)

[@linnsoltwedel]

You should keep doing these videos, then loads of companies will help you out and make your house even better! :D

[@linnsoltwedel]

"We take the wide and the hide". Haha. Morsomt :D

[@TechnoMonkeyFarm]

In Australia we have roller shutters that are very popular, not sure what insects to get over there but if you want to have your house looking new for longer, spray the eves outside as it's much easier than washing the house.

[@FranticGuitar88]

We have sunscreens from Somfy + 3 layer glass with IR reflective film (came with the window) and it made massive difference. Sunscreens have advantage, that they trap the heat far enough from the window so it does not get transferred on to the window at all. I also do building automation as my job, so I made the screens "smart" by monitoring forecast and letting sun in if there is chance that the home will demand heating and vice versa - blocking the sun when it is expected to be hot. Plus there are some additional functions, like wind failsafe, which lifts the sunscreens if the wind is getting too strong to prevent damage.

[@murraybhenson]

Is your home automation experience with KNX or something else?

[@FranticGuitar88]

@@murraybhenson For my home it's a mix. Some components are bought and WiFi based and some are salvage from our company's recycling bin - Distech PLCs, gateways etc. So it's a mix of I/O, WiFi, BACnet and I'd like to also implement DALI for lighting when I overcome procrastination to pull wires over the ceiling. It's definitely not a standard home automation, but I do like to make my own programs from scratch. I do also occasionally work with KNX, but I am not a fan and if I can avoid it I much rather use BACnet/DALI solutions.

[@carsmax]

Hello Bjørn . I think white panels are better because they reflecting better than dark panels!!!

[@kaasman78]

We just had those screens installed. 3% all around. It seems to work very well, but real summer isn't here yet 😊. In The Netherlands, didn't need an electrician, the screen people did all the electrical themselves.

[@ChainringTours]

which company did you use? I'm about to select windows and screens for my new build in Belgium.

[@TheJ1s]

I agree with one the commenters that you need trees to help with blocking the sun, plus why that many big windows around the front door? Did ya really want to see people coming up to the door while near or on the stairs? Last question, thought about those air filter systems?

[@anthonyworley2891]

You could have built the house in the first place to help with heat management but in the real world this is how most people deal with the problems. In the uk new build house’s only have the minimum standards the developers can get away with so this approach of adding energy efficient solutions when you can afford it is exactly how the majority of people behave. It’s going to be interesting to see the house developed into a comfortable efficient home.

[@marce8760]

1 tip : use a light colour. It will reflect light betterand keep more heat out.

[@jaker3151]

Downside is a lighter colour screen may need more cleaning/maintenance to keep them looking nice. Also if you think about it the screens are porous, are hanging and are not flat against the house/windows. There will be an air gap between the screen and house. Hence I don't think a darker colour screen would generate much more heat in the house versus a lighter colour screen.

[@jsjs6751]

The window film shouldn't curl up like that. It should stick perfectly. Did you peel off the protective layer on the back, so the adhesive layer came onto the glass?

[@petercroxford5030]

They use metal shutters in Croatia which are remote controlled keeps the heat out in summer, but also in during the winter and look amazing while turning your house into a mini fortress much better product then this one. Afraid I don't know the price tho

[@nobody-xt3zg]

14:06 while you block sunlight in summer you block sunlight in winter allso. In winter sun is heating effect. Use heatpump to cooldown the house. It uses 1kw/h to constant cooling in so new house. Thick wall keeps heat in as cool in allso! 😊😊

[@jsjs6751]

Let me help you out 😊 No. Those screens are electrically operated, so you can open/close them whenever you want. Cooling with 1kW (NOT kw/h !) doesn't help much when you get 8 kW of sun energy through just the windows at the entrance. (even with a good SEER/COP) While the walls do insulate really good, it doesn't help when pretty much all of the heat enters the house through the windows. And the walls here are made of wood, drywall and insulation. There's next to no "negative" energy-storage (heat absorption) in them (or "cold-storage", sic). When the screen has been installed, the house will stay cool throughout the day.

[@eskania]

Here, the temp can reach 40" in summer. The best product for building and cars is V kool, best heat reject films

[@paescu_2k350]

Best solution would be to plant some trees. Good for nature and good for cooling

[@oez4880]

Yikes 19 square meters. And in direct head on sunlight part of the day. I know from experience that blocking maybe 4 square meters does a lot. That big screen is going to do wonders.

[@10secondsrule]

I’d go for the white colour. It’s more efficient and it will look very cool and minimalistic as the house itself.

[@luisfernandes4145]

My nerd self wants you to do the factory tour! 😊 Edit: they should sponsor your channel, like mabe giving you all shades for free, they would get a lot of publicity... 😉

[@brottochstraff]

It’s crazy expensive with sunscreens - you can run AC for decades for that money. You only need ac like 4 weeks of the year

[@paescu_2k350]

Take a look at the factory!

[@evkx]

A very nice solution for your heat problem.

[@J4m3s6688]

Maybe you can use a solution that takes the heat removed by the A/C to heat the pool.

[@bjornnyland]

Too complicated.

[@J4m3s6688]

@@bjornnyland Yeah, I forgot how cheap your electricity is in Norway! It would cost more to engineer than you would save in electric bills.

[@eb1888.]

Explore electric for the large front screen. Supply can possibly come from the attic. Also check if low voltage wiring from a transformer can power the solar units instead of solar cells and battery. No electrician needed.

[@seafisk]

Grey fabric is nice for seeing through and still enjoying the view of the outside. For the entrance, would add flexibility and take three that you can take all the way down.

[@jsjs6751]

Yeah, I was thinking about that. And I would think that you can see more of the outside with black screens instead of lighter ones?

[@carsmax]

Bjørn ,do you have other companies with other solutions on the hand??

[@a1peck]

Do need a pool fences in Norway?

[@nobody-xt3zg]

Why dont you have installed split coolining system in the house?? Usage for cooling is less than 500nok for summer. Useless for anything else for lowering house temp, atleast new, high effieciency house!! 😊

[@96Lauriz]

That would be very expensive to install in every room. If only installed in one room its big compromise. With this heat load it will be much more expensive than 500nok. Also, it needs servicing by law every year in most EU countries. External shading is always preferred.

[@ALCLCFVIS]

this is the way 🙂

[@KEOLSSON]

Please investigate in smart-Home solutions - very interesting topic

[@kaurinjugoslav6326]

Man, that south facade cries for vertical solar! I hope you're aware that people are more than interested in you introducing these things...

[@johumm455]

if vertical solar was more accepted, the world would be a lot more sustainable

[@paescu_2k350]

Maybe time to cultivate some weed in your greenhouse! 🤣🤣🤣

[@CookeCraft]

Interesting stuff!

[@clivepierce1816]

The comment about blocking heat on the outside is broadly correct but misunderstands the physics of the problem. An internal white blind which reflected the sunlight would be just as effective. It’s the short-wave radiation absorbed by the furnishings that’s the issue. Reflected short-wave will pass back through the windows unimpeded. Overheating is a common problem with windows designed for solar gain in winter.

[@oez4880]

At least in my case a near white blind inside the house became warm if not hot. Maybe the overall design not good enough for the task, but it’s tricky with internal blinds.

[@doggnamedchip]

We have internal blinds (metalic) and they become hot and radiate heat into the room.

[@ChainringTours]

@@doggnamedchip same, I have 100% blackout blinds that have a reflective back to them. the temp around the window was in the 50 to 55C range when outside was 35C, it didn't stop heat nearly as well as stopping it outside the window with a sun screen.

[@robertimrie3710]

It amazes me that people with an interest in sustainability would not plan and consult with experts when building a new house to ensure that passive heating and cooling is optimised. There is no shame in consulting experts before you build even if you can't afford everything up front. Australia is full of new houses where style is prioritised over substance. I thought regulations in Europe ensured greater deaign for year round climate. Clearly this is not the case. As an aside, you can't have a pool in Australia unless it is fully fenced to protect children in particular from drowning. Not in Norway it seems. To us its like a car with no seatbelts or air bags, its like " oh my god, what about your kids or the neighbours kids"

[@davidnorton5887]

Stop fannying about with half arsed solutions, and put in A/C.

[@TheSweMusicMan]

That would indeed be a half arsed solution. Better to address the cause of the problem first. Then it will be way easier, and you waste much less energy on cooling the house.

[@96Lauriz]

Putting a/c is definetrly half arsed solution instead of building right and using passive solution as external shading
