Keep your cool
Manage high summer heat without energy-hungry air conditioning. Adapt your home with tree shade, ventilation, insulation, thermal mass and a cool roof. Adapt your behaviour by using your coolest rooms, shutting blinds, slowing down, wearing less, getting into water and having a siesta.
