Gregory's Server@elilla also a tip to keep your room cooler:
- stop the sun getting in!
This might seem obvious (use blinds/curtains if you can) however when the sun hits your blinds/curtains it still heats them up and releases heat into the room.
If you put a sheet/towel over the OUTSIDE of your window it will block the sun AND not heat your room up in the process.

@transponderings @Banshee @elilla If you can, planting deciduous trees can immensely improve the temperature of the surrounding area as well as shade your house during the summer, while allowing sun through in the winter. Similar to shutters, but I think they're prettier. @Banshee @elilla It's gonna be 100º-100ºF here in TX for the next month or two, so I got some cheap mylar camping blankets and duct taped them up on my exposed windows. (Which also have blackout curtains, which, like you say, get hot.) It seems to be helping, but the trade off is constant crinkling noise. :D |
@Banshee @elilla We need external shutters here!
(Edinburgh does pretty well for shutters in its Victorian houses and tenements, but they’re all internal)
