Reducing room temperature during hot summers

[arijitsinha]

those farmers working in those fields might think I am the real devil if I go with the Scythe

ha ha..

Another idea.. just spend someday at chennai. Enjoy the pleasant weather in sea beach at noon. Then return back to bglr, Definitely you will feel your room cool, hence room temp reduced.

I make sure that I don't visit Chennai during summer. only once or twice in two years I visit Chennai

 

[arijitsinha]

I will make sure I never visit chennai. Just wanting for my transfer from this place.

Looking at the whether, looks like its gonna rain again today .. its raining in the evening from past two days

^ you can also use jute bags instead of Hay.

Jute bags is best. I tried it and it's excellent, can keep water for a long time.

I recently saw a portable-AC which looks quite a lot like a cooler. It costs about 12K. You could try that.

LOL one ton I should also buy couple of buffaloes, and may be even start milk business

Jute Bags looks like the most easy option, will check over weekend

Lot of trees = Obviously cool!

But now scenario started changing, bangalore turning into next Chennai. Very soon they will achieve that.

In our home (in TN), we tried with jute bags and used to pour water once in 3/4 days depends on temps. And yes, it kept the room cool. Unlike hay, it will last long and no bad odour.

those portable AC's do not make sense at all...though it releases cool air upfront...the back of those coolers release hot air thus heating up other parts of the room...

Mumbai is surprisingly cooler this year for now...with temps ranging around 31-32C for a while barring just one or two days in between when it touched 40C

You can get the roof fix with false roofing to get 3-5 degree drop.

> Grow lots trees around the house.

> Keep windows open till ~11:00 am, then start using curtains.

> Completely close all windows facing the sun after 12:00 noon.

> Avoid cooking in afternoon.

> Keep some space for hot air to escape, i.e., keep proper ventilation.

> open all doors (not facing the sun) after every 2 hours and turn on all fans to make all accumulated hot air escape.

> Do not use carpet or other thick cloth stuff in summers.

Psst: wear wet socks while sitting, they make you chill as hell.

 

[arijitsinha]

hang a thick wet bedsheet/towel in front of windows instead of curtains.

I was wondering why I am not feeling the same heat now .. Realized when i went out that I am sitting in the office with the AC running 24/7
