Summer is in full power here in Kerala, India. Concrete radiating heat and rooms are hot even at night.
Have seen people mention things like blackout curtains, reflective or white paint on the roof etc.
Have upped hydration and am now sleeping with windows open, with a mat on the floor.
What all things do the people in your locality do? Or if you have any specific insight into cost-effective techniques or so, could you kindly share them?
Thanks in advance
None of this is going to help if wet bulb conditions occur … then you have to have air con, or you die.
i bet air conditioned still won’t be legally mandated in american housing law in such a scenario. lol
or worse yet, everyone’s compelled to buy air conditioning rent or “insurance”… aka the true american way. lol
Probably not … meanwhile here in Vietnam most people have it
it’s also common among the top 50% of income earners in the united states and the other 50% of poor people only have them if they live in jurisdictions where air conditioning is mandated by law.
