High temperatures are inevitable at this time of year, especially when natural phenomena such as heat waves arrive. For safety, staying home during the hottest hours of the day is best to avoid abrasive UV rays and physical consequences such as heat stroke or insolation.
However, our home can also become very hot. Turning on the air conditioner all day is not a viable option, so here we recommend some adjustments to have a cooler and more comfortable home while saving energy.
Ventilate in the Coolest Hours
This is the simplest option that can make a big difference. Open windows and opposing doors in the early morning hours to let in cooler air. In the same way, close curtains and blinds during the hottest hours and keep windows half open or close them to encapsulate fresh air.
Reduce Heat Sources
Appliances and other electronics, such as televisions and light bulbs, emit significant heat sources. We recommend changing your bulbs to LED lights, which emit less heat and are energy efficient. During the hottest hours, avoid using appliances that give off a lot of heat, such as the oven, iron, or dryer.
Choose A Thermal Waterproofer
Roof waterproofers are an important protective layer for our homes against moisture and prevent leaks during the rainy season. However, they also act as a barrier to heat transfer*1. In general, waterproofing protects the structure and increases the lifespan of the property*2.
Place Plants That Absorb Heat
Abundant vegetation always benefits the home; besides, they are excellent decorations. In this case, some plants are known to effectively absorb heat indoors, for example:
- Mother-in-Law's Tongue
- Areca palm
- Pothos
- Fern
