Make them better looking and push-button retractable from inside, and people will want them.
EDIT
At 16:40 he suggests high tech awnings that automatically unfurl and retract to provide the ideal amount of shade on each day of the year. Seems like a nearly perfect solution to me
I'm Suprised people don't just paint everything white in really hot countries. I've always felt that would probably help a lot.
True it would probably look bad a lot quicker.
always been confused why roofing in the NA area is often black, or close to black, it simply doesn't help anybody.
Also, the color doesn’t make that much of a difference. Like a percentage you can count on one hand. Much more significant gains can be had from ridge vents and other ways of getting the heat out of the attic, and insulation to keep that heat from going into the house.
At least according to my acquaintance in the roofing industry, and obvs this is regarding typical US/Canada SFHs
i could see the utility in it providing natural drafting for ventilation, but honestly, with the advent of modern homes moving towards insulated attics and loft spaces, that's definitely the correct choice.
Florida used to build houses with metal awning you would fold down over the window for hurricanes. We did away with those because hurricanes got stronger and would rip them off turning them to flying projectiles. Now we have panels and no awnings. Because of hurricane codes
Not to mention they are less work than trees
You can definitely put them up and take them down faster.
Maybe, in the future, we'll have rapid up/rapid down trees? With AI. Maybe they'll get the ability to walk, too, so they can stand where they provide the most shade.
Eccentric midwestern home owner has strong opinions about home designs, news at 11. I love his channel, did you see his trilogy about oil lamps?
Yes and his dish washer video was awesome as well. Agreed great channel.
All 3 dish washer videos.
Don't forget about the other dish washer videos on connextras.
Are you guys playing a bit or is someone gonna link the youtuber for those interested?
edit: I'm an idiot, ignore me
For the other idiots that stumble upon this post, see the most OP for a link.
