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 !

      I have a large room with clear story windows and the entire south wall is windows, in the desert. The roof extends out far enough to block the sun in the summer, but not in winter. In winter during the day it’s 90F when it’s below freezing outside. The amount of heat trapped from the sun coming in through windows is no joke.
