We know that, but he was talkign about solar gain being so high that he
had to open windows. Then the argument becomes do you put up with a few
hours of cold or use fuel to heat the house just to get over those few
hours.


It would be a very odd house where solar gain happens that quickly.


Modern, perhaps?

Large area of bifolds and 3 roof lights, all South facing, does trap a lot
of heat very quickly on a sunny day.

Even more so in Spring and Autumn when the sun is lower in the sky and
shines further into the room.

Oh, and modern insulation as well.
