Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times
So ok, usual ways I use:
- open everything during night
- close everything during day
- external sheets on windows without shutters
- some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs
I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?
Share your advices !
Using a reflective surface such as aluminum foil on the windows (shiny facing outside) will help. I’ve used contact spray adhesive on cardboard cut to size of window before. You can also get the bubble-wrap aluminum insulation.
Cut temps in my old studio from food-safe poultry temp to near ambient on the 100+F/40+C days.
