With the advent and spread of theories about the dangers of air conditioners, people began to massively abandon this type of device. Against this background, the urgency of the question of how to cool the house in the heat began to grow rapidly. Fortunately, many years of experience in this field allowed people to develop many techniques that help reduce the temperature in the room.
In most cases, it is not even necessary to use special devices, it's enough to organize your own regime and work a little with the situation in the apartment.
The most effective and reliable methods of
In cases where an unbearable heat is established at home, it is necessary to act according to the situation that has arisen. While the panel structures are heated at the same time, the brick structures are not so much influenced by external factors. Also taken into account are data such as the area of the room, the height of the ceilings, the number of windows. The lower the numbers, the hotter it will be in the room.
But even so, there are several approaches that can significantly improve the situation:
- Restrict the access of sunlight. First of all, you need to figure out how you can protect the room from direct heat access. A huge mistake is the use of light curtains, they practically do not protect anything. In summer it is best to use roller blinds from reflective or light-tight fabrics. Increasingly today, a thermal protective film is used, which is glued directly to the glass.
Tip: If the room is so hot that you can not fall asleep after sunset, you should use the "Egyptian" method. You need to wet the sheet, carefully squeeze it and shake it several times. Under such a veil, you can safely and with pleasure sleep for hours and even until the morning.
- Be sure to ventilate the room. Do this at the right time - early in the morning or late in the evening. All the rest of the time it is better to keep them closed.
- We take everything out of the house. Rugs, pillows and stuffed animals - it's very beautiful, but impractical in the summer months. From many frames and decorative knick-knacks, too, is better to give up, they are too actively collecting dust and creating uncomfortable conditions.
- The air must be moistened. In the summer months, even more often than usual, wet cleaning is needed. In addition, we use ionizers, cleaners and humidifiers in the room. In an extreme case, we hang on the premises of wet towels or arrange containers with ice cubes.
- We reject electrical appliances. People sometimes do not even notice how much heat is released when the most ordinary light bulb works. And when several more light sources are connected to it, a computer, a TV set, a refrigerator and much more, the impact becomes simply unbearable.
In addition, there are several other "first aid" options with a sharp rise in temperature:
- We use plants that actively release oxygen and humidify the air in the room.
- Empty apartment is not just aired, but we create drafts in it, but only when it is not very hot outside.
- We use a fan. But we are not directing air to man, but upwards. If you place a bowl with water or ice next to the device, the positive effect will be even more obvious.
- Bedspreads, pillows and bedding can be refrigerated from time to time in the refrigerator or freezer.
Even such simple manipulations can significantly ease the lives of residents of the apartment in the hottest months. Only to act it is necessary nevertheless cautiously not to be ill or induce in the room the raised humidity stimulating development of a mold.
How to relieve the condition of a dog in a heat?
Many dog owners do not even suspect that their pets suffer heat much worse than humans. The degree of susceptibility largely depends on the type of rock, the volume of wool cover, the size of the animal. Special attention deserves dogs with flattened muzzles, they have a special structure of the nasal passages. You can not ignore the inconvenience of old or sick animals.
In order to somehow cool the dog, you can use the following approaches:
- Refusal to walk in hot hours. If possible, it is recommended to route the route past reservoirs.
- You do not need to cut fluffy dogs in the summer! Wool creates an air envelope around their body and prevents overheating.
- Dog in the heat should be regularly cooled with cool water. We wet her head, paws, belly and groin area. Manipulation is recommended to be conducted at least 3-5 times a day.
- From the diet of the pet we remove fat and heavy food, the volume of servings is slightly reduced.
- An animal should have constant access to water, let it drink as much as it wants.
Do not be surprised if the once-active pet refuses food, walks, unwillingly plays with your favorite toys. You just need to provide him with a full-fledged care and after a while everything will be normalized.
