USE CURTAINS & SHADES

During hot months like in July, it would be wise to keep the curtains of windows that face direct sunlight closed. Studies have found that on a general basis, medium colored curtains with white PVC blackout backings would be able to reduce heat gain by almost 33%.

Additionally, with proper installation, window shades are also an easy and effective way to save energy. Quilted roller shades or Roman blinds are suggested to be the more effective than other soft window treatments.
