sweltering in the summer heat with no
a/c and no hope for relief the good news
is it's possible to cool your house with
nothing more than a strategically placed
fan and a few small daytime measures at
night the key is to take advantage of
cooler outside temperatures and swap out
the warm air inside your home for cool
outside air how by pointing one fan out
the window pick the room in your house
that you want to cool the most say your
bedroom open a window there this is
where cool air will eventually rush in
move to a different room located across
the house from the one you just picked
open one window there and place a fan by
it pointing outward that fan will blow
warm air out and create a low-pressure
system in the house which should suck
cool air into your home through the
window you left open in the other room
if you have a basement chances are it'll
be a few degrees cooler than the upper
floors of your house spread that cool
air through the house with a basement
fan that points upstairs during the day
it's important to shut your windows as
soon as the outside temperature climbs
above the indoor temperature you want to
keep as much of that cool night air in
as possible try to block out direct
sunlight by drawing your curtains and
blinds the sun's rays will heat the air
in your house but they'll also warm up
your counters and floors those tend to
have a high heat capacity so they'll
store that heat and continue to radiate
it throughout the night then let your
house insulation do the majority of the
work to keep your house cooler than the
outdoors
