Insolation is an extremely effective way to save energy. But with cold bridges and such it can be a little complicated to get right.

That's insulation but insolation can also help with saving energy ;)

I'm guessing `insolation` turns you into a clean energy source. Can't imagine it's good for the immediate surroundings though.

They may be saving energy, but 17.2°C average temperature indoors is freezing.

No it’s not. That’s a very normal temperature for our bedroom in the winter time. It probably depends where you’re from, in colder climates people are used to it.

Yeah but this was the entire flat, right? A cold bedroom is nice, but not trying to type on a keyboard in 17C.

Actually my experience is the opposite. In colder climates such as Russia, Finland I have seen room temperatures to be quite mild, above 20C for sure. However, in Italy in winter it is quite cold inside.

Needless to say that thermal insulation is awful in IT.
