they same colors
Yea in Germany its enough to have curtains to keep the direct sun out
And cool down by opening the windows at night
that made me sad
It’s the same reason you can get nasty sunburns on cloudy days, especially if you’re at a beach - the clouds also reflect the light back down
That’s because you people care more about the environment
do you not get utterly assaulted by bugs?
Having thick walls and isolations is also pretty important, both for cold and heat
Bugs are literally the reason I keep my windows closed the whole summer.
Screens are also a rarity, at least as of when I was there
If you don’t have lights on at night, normally you are pretty safe.
Unless your window is direct besides a tree. Then you need a window net to keep them out
See pretty much all of our windows have a mesh screen by default
Also ours very often slide upwards rather than open outwards, which does make that easier
Our windows can be opened both upwards and inwards. Inwards is way more energy efficient in winter.
Remember when I said
I stand by that
Well mesh screens are pretty dumb since you can’t lean outwards then
Which is a huge disadvantage
but that implies we want to lean out our windows
which I think I’ve never seen nor felt particularly tempted to do
Idk
Being not able to open the window fully and leaning outwards so you can observe everything is strange
Also we sometimes have our tv satellit dish on our windows, or have plants on the outside
selling milk on store shelves is strange
not to mention continuing not to refrigerate it once you’ve purchased it
