1. Do you know how much hot air comes into your home through the window?
About two thirds of the hot air comes in through the Windows. Windows, windowsills, and balconies are all ways for direct sunlight to enter your home. So keep your Windows and blinds firmly closed during the day and don’t open them until the temperature drops at night.
2. If you live in a loft with a skylight, how can you protect yourself from the heat?
Cover a piece of cardboard with aluminum foil and place the aluminum foil outwards on the skylight to cover part of the hot air.
3. If you have plants in your home, should you put them indoors or outdoors?
It should be kept loosely indoors. In hot summer, plants evaporate water molecules, ranging from liquid to gas. This physical sign can also bring a little chill to your home.
4. At what point do we first open the Windows?
At least an hour after dusk! When night falls, a draft can cool your entire home by flushing away the heat of the day!
5. Can cold water basin cool down indoors?
Yes, if you put a lot of cold water basins or tanks in your apartment, the water molecules will absorb the heat from the indoor air and evaporate, thus lowering the indoor temperature. Similarly, placing a cold, wet towel in the window can also cool you down.
6. Hasn’t your light bulb type changed since 1995?
Quickly switch to new light bulbs. Old light bulbs not only give off a lot of heat, but also consume electricity. This heat wave gives you a great reason to replace them.
7. Is it a good time to do housework in the hot summer?
Mop the floor! It can fill a room with a little coolness, but be careful not to tire you out and heat you out.
