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 ![Villas-Kaybe-Mail-Foto-04](https://blog.grupoemerita.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Villas%20Kayb%C3%A9/Villas-Kaybe-Mail-Foto-04.jpg?width=1241&height=700&name=Villas-Kaybe-Mail-Foto-04.jpg) 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 ![Secretos para refrescar el hogar este verano_03](https://blog.grupoemerita.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_03.jpg?width=1200&height=700&name=Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_03.jpg) 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 ![Secretos para refrescar el hogar este verano_04](https://blog.grupoemerita.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_04.jpg?width=1200&height=700&name=Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_04.jpg) **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 ![Secretos para refrescar el hogar este verano_05](https://blog.grupoemerita.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_05.jpg?width=1200&height=700&name=Secretos%20para%20refrescar%20el%20hogar%20este%20verano_05.jpg) 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   ## Enjoy Summer in A Luxury Retreat ![villas kaybé_04](https://blog.grupoemerita.com/hs-fs/hubfs/villas%20kayb%C3%A9_04.jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=villas%20kayb%C3%A9_04.jpg) Summer is more enjoyable in a home surrounded by greenery, such as **Villas Kaybe in Kaybe, Tulum**.
