How to keep cool in a
heat wave with wild fire smoke
Today, we reduced the heat gain in my house by covering the skylights from the inside. In this video we show you how this can be done easily and cheaply.
You will need:
- coroplast or cardboard
- space blanket
- scissors or utility knife
- packing tape
- ladder
Environment Canada is giving us a choice between cooking or choking, if you have no air conditioning or air filtration, during heat events with significant wild fire smoke.
During recent heat waves many people in coastal BC, where air conditioning is not as common, have been using outside air, particularly at night, to cool their houses. With increasing wild fire smoke this becomes a much less healthy option…
We describe a cost effective way to reduce heating of your home. The example provided is for skylights as this is low hanging fruit, but also applies to windows.
