@mametsuko good morning mame. Tofu just wanted to melt together with you

@mametsuko hello mame

@fristi how are you

@mametsuko hot and bothered

@fristi open the window

@mametsuko @fristi we have several windows and the balcony wide open and it’s still 29C inside 😭

@fristi @toast whaaaa

@mametsuko @fristi it's because the reason it gets hot (at least in french houses) is because the walls are built to hold heat, so they absorb heat and then slowly release it
the walls actually get HOTTER than the ambient air, because they're exposed to the sun, and will literally dump this extra heat inside
even with the windows open and the shutters closed and air circulation, it doesn't help because the walls are essentially natural radiators
in most cases (up to about 30C outside temp) it is hotter inside than out

@toast @mametsuko so this is why you build double-walled outer walls. The air between the layers helps insulate the inside from the outside.

You can improve this effect by pumping the air layer full of that styrofoam-like stuff that further boosts the insulation levels.

@mametsuko i did this morning

It was cool for a while but now it is hot again
