For

It may not be possible to halt the
onslaught of a heat wave but it is very well possible to reduce its effects. Here
are some simple, effective and low-cost solutions to ensure your home stays
cool through the scorching summers:

- Use dark colour curtains, tinted
glass/ shutters or sunshade through the day. Keep your windows, especially
those right opposite another, open during mornings and late evenings when the
air is comparatively cooler.

- Install temporary window reflectors such as aluminium foil-covered
cardboard to reflect heat back outside.
- Use energy-efficient appliances, clean fuel and alternative sources
of energy. Turn off lights when not in use – they radiate heat and fuel your
power bills too.
- Maintain AC temperature at 24
degrees or higher. This will reduce your electricity bill and keep you
healthier.
- If possible, use natural
materials such as lime or mud to coat walls.
