1. Invest in energy efficient air conditioning systems and fans.
2. Install window coverings or blinds to block out the sun's rays during peak heating hours.
3. Use ceiling fans instead of traditional air conditioning units.
4. Make sure all doors and windows have tight seals to keep conditioned air inside your home.
5. Utilize natural light whenever possible, as it is cooler than electric lighting.
6. Place plants strategically around the house to help cool down the interior.
7. Close off areas that don't need to be cooled such as bathrooms and kitchens.
8. Keep curtains open during the day to allow sunlight to enter.
9. Open windows on cold nights to let warm air escape.
10. Install insulation in walls and floors to prevent heat from escaping.
