We are still waiting for the first big summer heat. But it will definitely come. And then nobody has to sweat at home.
Berlin (dpa / tmn) - Good ventilation is not only important in Corona times - in summer it expels the heat from the apartment and house. Ventilation is even more beneficial when it is cool outside, i.e. in the morning or at night. The energy advice of the consumer advice centers recommends a look at the thermometer, as the subjective impression is often misleading.
What also helps against heat are roller shutters and external blinds. Because they are installed on the outside, they keep out much more heat than curtains on the inside, according to the experts. Most of the warmth penetrates through the windows in the summer.
Anyone considering purchasing an air conditioner should keep in mind that it uses a lot of electricity. A high energy efficiency class is important here - preferably A +++. The energy advice advises you to try a normal fan first. The devices do not lower the room temperature, but ensure that they cool down.
