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 !

    Yep, it’s a low-tech decision that’ll pay dividends. Same reason I’d opt for a white or lighter colored car if it’s going to be parked outside.

    Should’ve also mentioned roofing shingles as well. See a lot of houses with dark roofs just soaking up sunlight.
