When the heat hits, your home doesn’t have to suffer—thanks to new research from Loughborough University. Scientists tested two identical houses, one fitted with simple external shading, and found it slashed indoor temps by six degrees—even keeping the shaded home at a comfortable 29°C while the unshaded one soared past 33°C. With power grids strained by AC demand, this low-tech fix could be a game-changer. Plus, counterintuitively, experts advise keeping windows shut during the day to block heat. As climate change intensifies, these passive solutions offer a smart, sustainable way to stay cool without breaking the bank or the grid.
