Keep your home cool is not as difficult as you might think. Here are some steps to help you keep your home cool on a hot day.
ISOLATE.
40 per cent of Australian homes are not insulated, however, an isolated house is up to seven degrees cooler in summer and reduces cooling and heating costs by up to 45 percent.
SHADOW.
Use awnings, curtain fabrics or bamboo blinds on windows that are west and east, where more sunlight and heat comes. You can also consider a shutter on skylights.
DIVERT.
Reflective panels on the windows can keep up to 60 percent of the heat out and helps minimize fading of your furniture.
USAR.
Use a table fan, ceiling or even hand removes heat from your skin, making you feel cooler. Open all windows at the end of a hot day to let the breeze flow through the house.
EVAPORATIVE.
Evaporative coolers are cousins ecological air conditioners, and use 80 percent less energy to cool the air.
