Can you keep your house cool in summer by reducing the use of air conditioning?

In this article we give you some useful tips for keeping the house cool and reduce the use of air conditioning.
First of all, it is good practice to circulate as much electricity as possible, so in the early morning hours and in the evening, when temperatures drop, open the windows. During peak sunshine hours, on the other hand, it is good practice to close shutters and windows, so as to keep the indoor temperature constant. Fitting awnings and interior blinds in light colours can help reflect light and sunlight.
The presence of plants within living spaces can also improve the quality of the air you breathe.
Another measure to prevent the temperature in the home from rising is to limit the use of household appliances: washing machines and dishwashers produce heat during operation, as do incandescent light bulbs.
For a healthy summer sleep choose cotone or linen sheets and clothing in the same fabrics, they promote breathability and you will sleep better.

Lo health of the planet climate change, the water crisis, the energy crisis, call us to increasingly responsible behaviour towards available resources. Sustainability, in short, becomes a necessary philosophy of daily life to protect our health and that of the environment.
