Refresh without air conditioning
Summer has arrived and the heat accompanies it. It would therefore be easy to turn to air conditioning to find a little freshness at home. But air conditioning devices consume a lot of energy, they increase electricity consumption in summer, which can lead to saturation of the network. Finally, the gases used in these systems are powerful greenhouse gases, which poses problems in the event of leaks or improper handling.
But then what to do in an existing house or apartment?
To prevent the interior temperature from rising too high, the heat must first be prevented from entering the day by closing the shutters and the windows when the outside temperature exceeds that inside.
Interior protections (curtains, blinds) are less effective but make up for the absence of a shutter. It is also necessary to think of the internal heat contributions: energy-saving devices (for example low-energy lamps) dissipate less heat in the house. And it is better to limit the use of the oven during hot days.
Then, take advantage of the night freshness by ventilating as much as possible during the night and creating drafts allows you to sleep more comfortably.
Finally, a little trick is to use evaporation to cool a room: in fact, by evaporating, water needs energy, so it captures part of the ambient heat. To do this, you can regularly wet the floor or place a fan (relatively low in energy consumption) in front of a damp cloth.

Also avoid locking yourself in front of your plasma screen TV (400W) or PC (300W).
