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 !

    Aren’t there AC systems that just evapourate water from municipal supplies to the atmosphere?

    I mean, yes, I’d agree that blowing air over a standing water body isn’t AC, but we’re getting close.

      I think on a purely technical note, Air Conditioning goes beyond just cooling the air and involves reduction of humidity. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it AC because you’d have to keep refilling the evaporator resivor, instead of just powering the device, but that is a nitpicky item that isn’t technically a requirement.
