don’t let the sunshine in

Strong. hot mid-August sun presents an issue in keeping buildings comfortable that mid July/June don’t. The high sun of mid-summer hits mostly roofs, but now, as it lowers in the sky, it’s beginning to find it’s way back through windows. This weekend, draw the curtains (whatever) and reduce that solar gain inside. Also, don’t forget to ventilate at night; it’s cheaper than air conditioning, and with the night’s being longer than in mid-summer, we have a little more natural cooling time.
