To keep your house cooler in the summer, install shades, awnings or screens on windows facing South and West to block light. Use exterior shading devices or deciduous plants to shade your home from the sun.

Drink plenty of cool liquids and wear light, loose comfortable clothing to help the body regulate temperature when the thermostat is set higher than normal.

Open windows to take advantage of natural ventilation when the outdoor temperature permits. Make sure your thermostats are set, so that your heating and air conditioning is not operating when your windows are open.
