Install curtains, sunshades
Good quality light curtains can block most of the sunlight shining into the house, making the space cooler on hot sunny days. Just pull down the curtains, you will clearly feel the temperature in the room drop significantly.
Installing Low-E glasses for windows
If you are building a new or renovating a house, you can consider using Low-E glasses. This type of glass has the ability to reflect infrared and ultraviolet rays, helping to reduce heat absorption in summer and keep warm in winter.
When the outdoor temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, Low-E glass can significantly reduce heat entering the house, thereby saving electricity costs for air conditioning.
Window heat shielding film
If you don't want to replace windows, you can apply heat-insulating film. This solution helps reduce heat, limit the feeling of stuffiness and reduce the load on the air conditioner. Thanks to that, you don't need to adjust the temperature too low but still feel cool.
Plant sun-tolerant trees to create shade
For apartments facing the West or houses with strong sunlight, planting more green trees is a natural way to reduce heat. Trees can create shade, soothe the air and are environmentally friendly. You should choose sun-loving, easy-to-care for trees to achieve the best results.
Installing honeycomb heat-insulating curtains
Beehive curtains have a special structure that helps insulate and reduce noise. This type of curtain both effectively blocks light and limits heat transfer into the room.
Enhance heat insulation for windows and exterior walls
If conditions permit, you can install two-layer glass windows and add a heat insulation layer to the outer walls. Two-layer glass windows provide better heat insulation and soundproofing than regular glass.
Although the initial investment cost is quite high, in the long term, this solution helps the space to be cool in summer, warm in winter and save significant electricity.
