Pratham Bring Cool Homes This Summer
As summer arrives and along with it comes longer days and heat waves and while for some it means beaches for others it constitutes staying indoors. However, as we all know summers can make homes as hot as hell and might just urge homeowners to purchase air-conditioners. But let’s not forget that ACs are all that great for your health or for the matter the environments. So, what should you do?
What Makes AirConditioning Not “Cool� While it is an easy way to cool yourself, air-conditioners bring with a whole host of problems. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) can possibly hurt the environment and unclean filters can give rise to pollutants, such as pesticides and allergens, and can trigger a plethora of diseases.
HERE ARE A FEW WAYS BY WHICH YOU CAN GO ECOFRIENDLY AND COOL YOUR ABODE.
Window Personalisation Use double glazed windows to keep the heat out and they are also a cheaper option. Likewise, curtains, layered with a white coloured cloth works wonders in reflecting the heat from the sun. Also great are shutters and blinds, which can keep the intense heat at bay.
Utilise Passive Cooling Techniques We all know that white reflects and black absorbs, so paint your roof accordingly to reflect the heat and keep your rooms cooler. There are many paint schemes available like beige, off-white, cream, egg-shell, etc that you can use to paint your roof.
A Green Home is a Cool Home You can keep our home cool by keeping the immediate area around your home cool. By planting trees around your house, you can immediately feel how the shade from the tree has a cooling effect. Trees also absorb the humidity from the air and keep their surrounding areas cool. Some development projects, in fact, come with already planted trees. Some flats in Dunlop, Kolkata, for example, have this feature.
Pillows and Sheets You can also use cotton to beat the heat. Make use of cotton pillows and sheets or alternatively, you can also use lyocell sheets. These are eco-friendly materials and are very comfortable for summer days. Also great are buckwheat and rice pillows that don’t onto your body heat as compared to other materials.
With these energy-saving and ecofriendly techniques you can save a lot and also protect the environment. These tips are even easier to implement when you have a spacious home with a proper architectural layout. Dhoot Group’s flats near Dunlop in the Pratham residential project offers these very benefits. These 2, 3 and 4 BHK flats are not only close to nature, they but also style and comfort to their residents.
