Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times

So ok, usual ways I use:

  • open everything during night
  • close everything during day
  • external sheets on windows without shutters
  • some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs

I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?

Share your advices !

Conversely, AC is much less common in places like France and Japan, and it's not just because they're too cheap.

This is completely wrong. Like 95% of all households in Japan have ACs. Even on the countryside. I was living in Japan for a year and the only time I visited a house without an AC was on an island with 1000 inhabitants.

    This is completely wrong.

    You talk exclusively about Japan, so even if your anecdata is representative, then my point is not "completely" wrong. Let's begin by using language correctly.

    If youre making a point and part of it is a lie, it is completely wrong.

    Lets begin by growing a pair of balls and owning up to your mistakes instead of hiding behind condescension.
