Meanwhile, simple low cost and sustainable(!) actions can minimize or eliminate the need for energy consuming cooling:
- Open windows, and doors if safe, when evening comes and allow the naturally cool outside air cool your home. In the morning, say when the outside temperature equals the indoor temperature, close the windows and doors to keep the hot air out and cool air in.
- Looking down the road, plant deciduous trees on the sunny side of your house. The leaves will cast the shade to cool your house in summer and shed in winter, allowing the sun to heat your roof. Clever, no? I say plant a fruit or nut tree and get extra benefit of the harvest!
- Don't use your oven or dryer or other heat producing appliances during the day.
- Consider awnings to shade windows that are collecting too much sun.
