    Maybe read the last part. My current apartment is much better than my old one since I can actually create a wind tunnel, but even then it doesn’t lower it below 25°

    And any apartment I’ve had didn’t allow for adding anything to the outside unfortunately. The apartments just weren’t designed for summer comfort.

      I see your point. I do not see how you cannot cover the outside of thr window yet. I live on the 4th floor of an absolutrly insulated building in a much hotter region than Scandinavia. Covering window and letting air go during cooler nights keep temperature at approx -6 compared to outside temp. If outside temp doesnt go below say 26 during the night, then its air conditioning either way, regardless of insulating (but with insulation it remains cooler for longer).

        It is physically impossible to get to the windows, there is no balcony. I’d need a boom lift to get to them. Modern Scandinavian designs simply didn’t account for proper shading of windows and if you’re in an apartment you’re shit out of luck.

          Now I totally get your point. That is bad design. Even as to just clean windows. Our windows can be opened inwards totally or just slightly tilt it.
