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 !
Biologically: being hot all over makes your capillaries close to the surface of the skin expand so you can dump heat into the air quicker
A hot shower raises this above ambient, giving you even better capillary cooling for a while, plus hot water tends to evaporate quicker, taking more heat load with it.
