Ehi tutti, vivo in un WG ad Aachen. La mia camera diventa estremamente calda durante l’estate. Sono un po ‘più sensibile al calore di una persona normale e questo rende estremamente scomodo il mio soggiorno in questa stanza. Ma tranne questo, il WG è piuttosto bello e in una bella posizione, quindi non mi sento di muovermi da qui.
Il problema principale è il 4 grandi finestre di grandi dimensioni esposte alla luce solare (vedi immagine). Ci sono bui, ma mentre aiutano a limitare la luce non fanno nulla contro il calore. In un caldo pomeriggio estivo, ho controllato la temperatura del vetro della finestra usando un termometro IR ed era 48 ° C. 4 finestre grandi come questo si irradiano l’inferno e vengo cucinato. Ora, anche se fa freddo fuori come 18-20 ° C, se c’è la luce del sole la mia stanza si calpesta. Posso risolverlo aprendo i finestrini quando arriva l’aria fresca. Ma durante le estati questo non funziona poiché l’aria fuori da sola è calda.
Trascorro la mia ultima estate interamente nel mio ufficio fino alle 21:00 quando il sole è andato giù. Il mio capo era compassionevole e mi ha persino dato una chiave extra per l’ufficio. Ma non voglio farlo quest’estate e ho davvero bisogno di trovare un modo per ridurre il calore.
Stavo pensando a fogli che possono essere bloccati su finestre, ma non so quale scegliere. Inoltre, dovrei attaccarli fuori o dentro? Ho sentito che se rimani dentro, c’è la possibilità che la finestra a doppio vetro possa rompersi? Quali altre opzioni ci sono? Non mi interessa se limita anche la luce e la stanza diventa scura.
Vorrei anche sapere se ci sono ragazzi professionisti in Aachen che possono aiutarmi in questo.

Of course, the blinds hardly help against the heat. Because the sun’s rays are already in the room before they are holding back by the blinds. So for an effective solution, you would need something on the outside of the window. The best solution would of course be roller shutters. But as it’s a room in a shared flat, you won’t be allowed to install them.
You’ll also have a hard time with other “fixed attachments” because it’s not your property.
So I’m afraid the best solution in your case is to buy a mobile air conditioning unit.
You can try sticking the tinted foils outside the window so they reflect off most sunlight.
Also may be invest 8n an AC unit. I see no other option than to shell out 150 or so € and cool off…cheaper than moving apartments I assume.
damp curtains
Im sure you are already doing it but just to make sure: at night open all windows, best all of the flat. Let it get as cold as possible to cool down the walls and so forth. During the day windows closed as long as its still cooler inside than outside.
And another tip to make yourself cooler, put your feet in a bucket with cold water.
Unless you can change anything on the outer side, there is not too much you can do, unfortunately. You can try to keep hot air outside for the first few days by keeping the windows closed during daytime and opening them once it gets colder over night. However, after a few days, this won‘t help anymore as the heat will also come through the walls etc.
Once the hot air is inside, windows are closed and you spend time inside the room, the humidity will go up simply due to your presence (breathing, sweating, …) and this will make it even more unbearable.
To make it somewhat comfortable, open the window and try to put a fan in a good location so that there will be a bit of air circulation, which is going to cool you down a bit. This won‘t change the room temperature itself, but it will feel more pleasant. Think of it as if you were in a desert while it‘s 35°C (will feel more pleasant due to low humidity) VS in a rain forest while it‘s 35°C (will be unbearable due to high humidity).
You can buy mylar sheets (usually sold as survival blankets or the like) and line your windows with them. They’re very lightweight and reflective. This reflects a large portion of the energy back out – even more than white blinds. Additionally, even if the glass gets hot, the mylar will help reflect that out as well. It’s not perfect obviously, but it’s a much stronger effect than just blinds or curtains.
There are a few downsides: the mylar is fragile and rips easily, you must set it up and take it down every day (if you want to open windows at night) and it blocks a huge majority of the light (which is what has the heat so this is kinda wanted).
If you’re very careful, you _might_ even be able to wrap the outside of your windows in it instead, keeping the heat entirely outside. I would kinda expect it to rip and tear though, especially if there’s any window.
