It is a little worse than that: some triple glazed windows are intentionally made more opaque/green tint for 2 reasons: 1. easier on the eye when sunny outside, and 2. block up to half of solar radiation, to prevent overheating indoors
- bryanrasmussen 4y agodoes Norway worry about overheating indoors though?
- ptman 4y agoI'm not in Norway, but here in Finland I don't appreciate having nearly 30C indoors in the summer.
- antipotoad 4y agoNot sure, but consider that summer months can have little to no nighttime owing to the northerly latitude.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agothat's true, it does get hot sometimes in Denmark where I am, but then I open the windows when that happens. My experience is it's either too cold to open the windows, or you will want the windows open - in my part of Denmark.
- tallanvor 4y agoI don't think it was much of a problem historically, but anecdotally the summers have been getting worse* over the 15 years that I've been here. I finally had to break down and buy a portable air conditioner a few years ago. *Some people enjoy having more hot days during the summer, of course.
