Cooling Your Home Naturally

Cooling Your Home Naturally

Research output: NREL › Marketing

Abstract

This fact sheet describes some alternatives to air conditioning which are common sense suggestions and low-cost retrofit options to cool a house. It first describes how to reflect heat away from roofs, walls, and windows. Blocking heat by using insulation or shading are described. The publication then discusses removing built-up heat, reducing heat-generating sources, and saving energy byselecting energy efficient retrofit appliances. A resource list is provided for further information.
