Keep The House Cool In Summer
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008You can drop the temperature in your house, especially upstairs, by several degrees, if you open the loft hatch and open doors and/or windows on the north side of the house. By doing so you create a chimney effect; hot air is able to vent from the loft through the eaves and cooler air is drawn up through the house from the north side. Deepending on the structure of the building this can have anything from a modest to a quite noticeable effect and it’s a lot greener then air-conditioning.
