There's literally a whole section on glass coatings. But he makes the point fairly reasonably that in large parts of the world the climate is extremely seasonal and so you don't necessarily want glass coatings because they affect the glass all year round. Is a good point really perhaps you live in a temperate climate and so are not as cognizant of this.
The curtains bit is especially stupid because obviously curtains heat up and then radiate that heat back into the room so no they don't block heat they block light. If you want it to be dark then you have curtains if you want it to be cool they don't do anything.
Lol, you're bothered by him not watching the video, and now you're not reading his comments XD. He already said in the previous comment there are glass coatings that work dependent on the angle of the sun, so coatings that will have different effects in different seasons, so he already addressed the possible issue of glass coatings working all year round, and said that according to him it's not an issue if you choose the right coating.
I am reading these comments they're just uninformed and he's pushing this view that he has which is fine but he's not watched the videos why the hell is he commenting about it.
And why do you care so much, I just feel that in a sub-related to videos, people should possibly watch the videos before commenting and making irrelevant comments that are already addressed in the video, but you go ahead and be a dick
Yeah, and on a discussion space it's probably also best that you actually read the comments you're replying to. He felt that the video wouldn't teach him anything since he's considers himself already knowing a lot about the subject.
I just pointed out the irony of you being bothered about him not watching a clickbait video about a topic he believes he already knows more about that such a video can teach. And you then tell him the video makes points he already dismissed.
He might be a bit abrasive how he entered the discussion, but if he works in the industry and knows why awnings are no longer a thing, and already dismisses the points the video made against more modern technologies since he seems to know what modern technologies are actually like.. that does seem actually useful to this discussion. I get him not wanting to waste 20 minutes...
