SEASONAL SOLUTIONS

PASSIVE

COOLING

• Aim for shade around
  windows, walls and your
  roof. Think trees, thick
  shrubs, vines, awnings,
  outdoor shutters and
  even tinted window film.


• Insulate, insulate,
  insulate... not just your
  ceiling but your walls.


• Allow for cross breezes
  by opening windows on
  both sides of the house.
