Don't have AC? Don't sweat it! In this video, we'll show you some easy and affordable ways to keep your home cool this summer without air conditioning. Say goodbye to hot, uncomfortable days and hello to cool, refreshing living spaces!
1. Curtains of Natural Materials
Vetiver or khus curtains have an in-built cooling quality that keeps the place cool. They are eco-friendly, economical and highly suitable for summer. They are used as blinds over windows and balconies to keep the house cool without ac. Moreover, they carry a good fragrance, which makes the surroundings pleasant.

2. Use of Heat Reflective Paint
Heat-reflective paint is used as a heat-insulating coating on the terraces and rooftops of buildings. These paints form a coat over the terrace or roof, which reflects the sunlight. Its application reduces the temperature of the roof or slab, thereby correspondingly reducing the room temperature, keeping house cool in extreme heat.

3. Use Light Colour
The colour selection can also affect the temperature of a house. The dark colour of the walls and furniture inside the house can further lead to the absorption of heat. Hence, use of light colours is recommended for protection against heat.

4. White Lime Washes on Terrace
White is considered to be a colour that reflects light and heat the most. Hence, white lime wash acts as a reflective layer on the terrace. It helps in keeping the space underneath cool throughout summer.

5. Terrace Gardens
Go green this summer with Terrace Garden. Terrace garden is a good idea to beat summer. Get the required gardening stuff, and let the plants do their magic!

6. Keep Interior Simple
Pack off all synthetic drapes and thick woolly carpets that have a warm feel and look. Instead, put in thin-style material made from cotton, jute and hemp that look good and aid in keeping house cool in extreme heat.

7. Open the Windows When the Temperature Drops
Shut the window when the outside temperature soars up and open them when the temperature dips. Make an ice fan and enjoy the cool air.

8. Grow Plants, Shrubs and Vines
Growing plants and trees outside your house is the simplest way to drive away heat, keeping the house cool in extreme heat. Since growing trees can take years, some people also use a fast-growing vine to help cover up windows.

9. Turn Off or Unplug Unnecessary Appliances
Not just dishwashers and dryers, but even your phone charger, hair dryers and other small appliances generate some heat inside your home. Hence, unplug all unnecessary appliances or electronic gadgets when not in use.
Thus, with these innovative and sustainable methods at your disposal, you no longer need to rely solely on air conditioning to keep your home cool during summer.
