    How to keep your house cool especially in summer? There are ways you can keep your house cool without using insulation equipment. You just need to be creative in your ways. Here are the tips to keep your house cool. 1. Open your windows. Know when you should open your windows. If it is cooler outside than inside, then open your windows. However, don’t just open it without thinking about how to get the most air movement. Because hot air rises, then create a natural draft by opening the windows downstairs especially on the shady side of the house then open the upstairs window on the hot side of the house. You can also increase the natural air flow by putting a portable window-mounted fan in the windows upstairs. Aside from that, you can also experiment with how wide you should open your windows. For example, you open the windows on the side of the house where the wind is hitting then the upstairs windows on the side of the house away from the wind. This will make your house cooler because as the wind swoops over and around the house, it will decrease the air pressure on the far side. Then this will lower pressure will pull the hot air out of your home. Reminders: If you are living in an area with lots of pollen or dust, you may want to consider getting window screens with filters especially for the downstairs windows. Close your windows when once the outside air starts to warm up and make sure to close it uptight when leaving the house. 2. Know how to reduce and reflect sunlight. We can't live without sunlight or the sunshine. But sometimes it's not helping especially if we want to be cool. That is why you have to do everything you can do to keep it from shining onto your house to keep you cooler. You can make your house and roof reflective with the use of reflective paint. Aside from that, light also contains ultraviolet (UV) radiation and infrared radiation (heat). This means that once they hit your skin or the floor of your living room, a significant portion of their energy is converted to heat. This mini greenhouse effect is not good especially when the weather is hot. 3. Install Insulation. Prevent air leaks to keep your house cool. Installing insulation will help you save money all year-round because the more you make your home less leaky, the more energy it saves. Adding insulation, therefore, is an up-front investment because it helps lower your energy bills. 4. When to use your AC. If you want to use an AC or air-condition in summer, consider first where you live and how your house is designed. Make sure to save money on electricity and keep your environmental impact as low as possible. Replace units that are older than 10 years with a new model but be sure to properly recycle the old one. When buying an AC, look for the Energy Star label and make sure to get the right size unit for your space. source: https://www.sprayinsulationindustries.com/tips-keep-house-cool-infographic/
