IT’S EASY BEING GREEN

STAY COOL IN THE SUMMER

Setting up your home to stay cool in the heat will help you adapt to warmer weather without the need for energyhungry air conditioning. Closing curtains and blinds during the hottest parts of the day can go a long way to keeping heat outside. Open windows at night to let cooler air in.

Trees and plants can act as natural coolers by releasing moisture into the air.

Turning off appliances and incandescent light bulbs can also prevent excess warmth from being released into your house. Fridges can also send out a lot of heat: ensure there is plenty of ventilation space behind them.
