Engineer's Green Tips For Summer: How to Beat the Heat?

Summer is here or going to be here in most parts of India. Where I live, it sometimes get to 50 degree Celsius.

So, give & take a few technical and non-technical ideas for beating the heat this summer.


1. Electric fans use 90% less energy than centralized air conditioning. Use fans more.

2. It's too hot for a fan. How about building a solar-powered air conditioner?

    have fresh fruits and drink loads of water.
    carry an umbrella or wear a cap when you go out in the sun.
    wear light clothes preferably cotton.

    use curtains in the house. also place the furnitures like bed away from the south and west walls. because they will absorb most of the setting sun's heat and radiate them into the house in the nights.

    very correct. also get a technician to check the insulation of the pipes in your air conditioner. if not properly insulated the external heat can affect the cooling.

    Any more suggestions friends?

    Summer is here and its going to be equally harsh to the animals around us. Kindly do your tiny bit by keeping a bowl of fresh water out side your balcony or garden. 😒
