Keep The Sun Out
Sunshine is great in the winter but only adds unwanted heat in the summer.• Keep your drapes closed during the day. Open at night. (Just the opposite of winter.) Light coloured drapes and blinds reflect the sun's rays and reduce solar heat by as much as 50 per cent.
• Try awnings, sun screens, etc. They can reduce heat gain through windows by as much as 80 per cent.
• Plant some trees. Deciduous trees are best close to the house; they produce good shade for both you and the house during the summer, but let in valuable winter sunshine.
