south facing windows. That little apartment turned into an oven in the summer.

It's an infrared-reflective film you can put on your windows.

Or if you have the windows open, slatted shutters or a slatted screen.

I'm assuming that in the Netherlands, it's humid in summer, so probably can't use an evaporative cooler; that might be useful somewhere like Madrid.
