This Incredible Tool (preventing insolation) That Our Ancestors Used To Keep Cool In The Summer.
Yeah, they cost money. So does installing air-conditioning. But they use no energy ( that’d would be bad for fossil energy-producers).
Just make me a goddamned hobbit hole that has less need for temperature management.
So, I’m lucky enough to have built a house, and earthworks are expensive. A hobbit hole would cost as much as the house we live in, without the actual building, just the hole.

Is there an awning form factor that doesn’t block a significant part of the view? Seems like most the examples in the video blocked a lot of the window when looking straight out.

You can buy smart awnings at German home improvement stores

In Australia, houses just have eaves.
What about some rollo blinds? We have them shut during daytime in summer in the rooms we don’t use all the time. They also help sleep in the dark if that’s your thing. The drawback is that they often create a weak spot wrt. Insulation.
Awnings are also really ugly. Installing shudders that actually work is another option
Shutters?
You heard the man.
I’ve got roller shutters and motorized awnings. Very effective.
No the fuck they aren’t. Get your eyes checked.
