Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4351281, member: 5787"] Do you have an attic fan? It doesn't make [I]that[/I] much of a difference if the overnight low is 75, but during heat waves I keep the windows closed from like 10 AM to 8 PM and then run the attic fan from wake up to like 9 AM and then 9 PM until bed time. The hot air from the attic gets vented out and the cooler air from outside replaces the indoor air. Closing the windows traps the cooler air. It keeps the house under 80 for about a four day heat wave, as the horse hair plaster walls do a great job doing what they are designed to do: keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We only have window units in the bedrooms, so since this heat wave is scheduled to be prolonged, I've planned indoor stuff for this week: appointments Wednesday afternoon and a show at the Blue Note Wednesday evening, visiting the Aldrich for free on Thursday and then bringing over takeout to a friend on Friday in their HVAC'd home.
