Default Keeping cool thread. Saving in the summer.

Everyone has their methods to save on energy and air conditioning through the hot summer. What do you do thats diffrent?

Heres a few to kick it off.

Utilizing a basement/crawlspace.
-Storing your beverages in the basement.
-Use/Build a summer room
-Hanging clothes to dry

Rearanging
-Move seating away from windows or paths of sunlight.
-Keep appliances in optimal position for ventelation and heat transfer.

Solar
-Instal pannels for a long term investment.
-Longer daylight time means less light being used, change timers.
-Consider using solar powered appliances when possible.


Please share your tips. Maybe we might get a few that are less obvious than mine
