This video by Technology Connections talks about how window awnings can greatly help cool your home.
Another thing I want to add is that window awnings can protect windows. We get pretty big hail here, and (wood or aluminum) awnings can save your window glass. I have also heard of “Clamshell Awnings” which are on hinges, so you can remove the poles and lower the awning to cover and protect windows in extreme weather.
Lastly, here are some old window awning ads for your entertainment (from Wikimedia commons)

If you weren't being stolen from en masse then we could easily afford another job structure for all the windows in our own houses. Not to mention maintenance, replacement, etc. AC popularity is literally theft. Back in the early 50's there were AC's that just worked forever. Now they all break and require a resale of new parts and whole units in years. I know this because I have an original piece that still works.
I can tell you that I would not take on any anlwning jobs. I'm quite busy enough without the hassle of drilling into brick or dealing with rotten headers or any of that crap. I'd guess $1000/window would be a starting price. How many windows do you have? Do you want to recover the awnings every 7-10 years and take them up and down twice a year? Or buy an air conditioner now and again. That's why the awning trade has died. Except for automatic ones that come in a box.
AC isn't the kind of thing you have to crank the energy for 15 Million Merits. Don't see why an awning should cost a popular media labor of obligation versus just burning oil and, of course, the whole fucking planet. I'd call you (as in everyone, nothing personal) a sloth but I ain't trying to insult that mammal.
You should proof read your comments. That reads like a tweaker's stream of consciousness.
Black Mirror E02 since, obviously, you missed the blatant naming.
Okay, nix that earlier meta-direction of a reference. I do now, in fact, make a personal insult.
