Is it possible to go on vacation earlier?

Remember, maybe you have several days off, or one of your colleagues owes you a day or two. Or maybe you just have a good relationship with your boss and you need to tell him: “Stepanich, I need to take a break, or I’ll burn out at work. Well, at least a couple of days!” And go somewhere where there is no heat. To the village to visit grandma. And not necessarily to your own - your friends probably have relatives in the suburbs. And if your wallet allows you to go to a ski resort in the middle of summer, then you are your own boss. Choose. The main thing is to get away from the heat and change the environment to reboot.

Why eat something like this to get more energy?

Nutritionists recommend abstaining from flour and meat on hot days. Eat vegetables and fruits. From three to four fresh vegetables you can prepare a wonderful light stew in 20 minutes, tasty and not burdensome on the stomach. Treat yourself to a fruit salad. And for this you don’t have to rush to the supermarket for pineapples. What is closer is more useful. Maybe two or three different fruits plus a spoonful of sour cream and a pinch of sugar are enough to make a delicacy.

Don't drink from a barrel - you'll become a little goat!

Drink more. Just do not rely on clean water - it will wash salts involved in metabolism from the body. It is better to add a little juice or tea to the water, or squeeze a slice of lemon. When it's very hot, it's good to drink kefir and yoghurt. But keep an eye on the optimal storage temperature. Heat can make them sour, but cold drinking can make them sour. Chocolate lovers will love cool cocoa on hot days. Prepare it the night before, pour it into a bottle and put it in the refrigerator. You will thank yourself. It’s delicious, invigorating and refreshing. But it’s better to refrain from buying cold barrel or keg kvass on the street. Within a few hours under the scorching sun, such kvass becomes dangerous to your health. Be patient and buy the same one, but in a plastic bottle at the supermarket.

To put this on, to undress?

On hot days, it is better to wear clothes made from natural materials - cotton, linen, viscose. They allow air to pass through well and allow the body to breathe. While synthetics create the effect of a thermos, they often heat up themselves and can release toxins or dye odors. And wear a hat! It’s better to appear extravagant to your colleagues than to collapse from the heat. Moreover, a temporary change of image has never done much harm to anyone. A hat with a wide brim, or a men's hat, but with a flower, a skull cap, a chaka, a bandana - choose what suits you.

Early in the morning at dawn, little mice wash themselves...

Take a shower whenever possible. But not cold and with gentle shower products - so that the skin does not dry out from frequent bathing. In the morning, in the evening, during your lunch break - who will stop you from drying yourself with a wet towel?

And be afraid of air conditioners. They dry out the air in the room, which can lead to drying out of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat - and as a result, you will become highly susceptible to viruses, which, unlike you and me, feel great in the heat.

For many people, hot summers are a problem because... they do not have the opportunity to move to a cooler place, for example, to a country house. In apartments, especially on the sunny or south side, it becomes unbearably hot in summer, which can negatively affect health.

What to do if it gets hot at home? To do this, you can use some simple methods that will help cool the room. They will be discussed in this article.

First, you should take a look at your home thermometer and estimate the temperature of your home.

Today I looked at my thermometer and was horrified, because... The temperature was off the charts +35 degrees. This can be compared to the temperature on the beach, but there is a sea or body of water that helps the body cool down. But what should we do if it’s so hot at home, and even higher on the balcony? The windows of the apartment are directed to the south.

Of course, you don’t have to stay at home, but spend most of your time outside or in cool rooms. However, some people, for example, pensioners and disabled people are forced to stay at home in the heat, because... It is difficult for them to go out into the yard or climb the stairs. And some cannot walk at all and sit at home all the time.

For such people, it is especially important to be in a cooler room so as not to strain the cardiovascular system. If this is not possible, then in this case you need to purchase an air conditioner, a fan, or use cheaper methods, such as constant ventilation, a damp cloth on the forehead, a cool shower, quenching your thirst, light cotton clothes, a fan, etc. This should help if you very hot.

Easy rules to follow in the heat

Summer can be called a season of rest, relaxation, travel, because... At this time, many people, as a rule, take a vacation and spend most of their time in nature, in the countryside, in the countryside or in resorts. What could be better than summer? In fact, summer is wonderful, but heat, temperature changes, and the greenhouse effect can spoil your mood and adversely affect your health.

As I already said, not all people can afford to travel, or go to the country where the forest smells, the freshness of nature. Some are forced to spend the summer at home and suffer from the heat, especially if the apartment windows are directed to the south. A friend of mine has windows facing east, but she suffers from the heat in her apartment on the ninth floor. According to her, the heat in her house is due to overheating of the roof from the sun. What to do if it's hot at home?

Rules:

  • wear light clothing;
  • use a fan or air conditioner;
  • draw the curtains at midday, i.e. in the heat of the day (preferably before 16:00);
  • open the door to the bathroom;
  • take a cool shower;
  • use the fan;
  • place a damp cloth on your forehead;
  • give up caffeine and sweet soda;
  • include more fruits and vegetables in the menu;
  • drink at least 2.5 - 3 liters of water per day;
  • drink tea with lemon balm, mint, lemon zest, catnip (), St. John's wort, yarrow, which have a cooling effect;
  • eat watermelon, melon, popsicles, drink a cooling cocktail.

It should also be noted that if it is very hot outside, do not go out for a walk without a hat, and also do not forget to take a bottle of water with you.

Abnormal heat has a negative impact on health

Summer high temperatures can pose health risks. High humidity, lack of wind (poor ventilation), plus high temperature (heat wave) harm or worsen overall health.

The first signs of the negative effects of heat:

  • weakness;
  • headache;
  • increased body temperature;
  • strong thirst;
  • muscle spasms;
  • tachycardia;
  • loss of consciousness.

If these symptoms are present, you should immediately go to a pass-through place; if the person is unconscious, call an ambulance. Also, if the condition worsens, you should wet your face with cool water.

How to protect yourself from the heat?

In summer, it is better to wear light-colored clothes made from natural materials such as linen and cotton. Avoid dark clothing made from synthetic materials.

Eat light meals and avoid heavy, high-fat, high-calorie meals. Give preference to white meat, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. Limit the consumption of coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks, which lead to even greater dehydration of the body, because. have a diuretic effect. It is better to drink plain water in the hottest weather, at least one liter in the first half of the day.

Some experts believe that in hot weather it is better to keep windows closed during the day. This way you will keep your house cooler. This method is popular in Tajikistan. The thicker the curtain, the better. In the evening and at night, it is advisable to open the windows to let fresh air into the house. If you have mosquitoes, then in this case it is necessary to install mosquito nets.

If your windows are facing east, west or north, then you can plant climbing plants on the balcony to protect the house from the sun's rays. The more plants, the better.

Pensioners, elderly people and people with disabilities should pay special attention to their health. Regularly measure blood pressure and body temperature, especially in hot weather.

On the hottest days or hours, avoid excessive physical activity and sports. Also, during the hottest hours, it is recommended to turn off all electrical appliances that give off unnoticed heat.

Research

Numerous studies have shown that not only environmental pollution, sudden temperature changes, but also the use of air conditioning can have a negative impact on humans. This can also be called a sudden change in temperature, especially when you go from a cool, air-conditioned room outside into the heat.

It is worth noting that in hot weather there is a high risk of heat stroke. This is especially true for older people and children who have a weakened sense of thirst. Therefore, children and the elderly especially should observe the drinking regime. In addition, if you are taking medications, you should pay special attention to your condition. Some of their medications affect the thermoregulatory mechanism and increase the chances of heat stroke.

Hot weather also puts young people at risk of heatstroke and dehydration. The only solution is to drink enough water throughout the day. Sometimes high temperatures or temperature fluctuations can cause insomnia.

There is an opinion that in hot weather we should not drink coffee and other drinks containing caffeine, because... they have a diuretic effect. This increases the removal of fluid from the body. However, scientists report that to cause dehydration, you need to drink huge quantities of these drinks. Therefore, in the heat, you should not be afraid of coffee, especially if you drink it in the morning.

Experts believe that you should not use air conditioning frequently because... this can weaken the immune system. Do not install an air conditioner if the temperature in your apartment is below 25 - 26 degrees Celsius. This temperature is well tolerated.


The problem of stuffiness and heat in an apartment is very relevant, especially in the summer. Stuffy room does not allow a person (child and adult) to rest, sleep, relax, or work calmly and productively. Why is this so? Alas, our body tolerates cold much easier than heat. That's how it's built.

Overheating of the body is very harmful; it is not as noticeable as moderate cold. People feel especially bad when they are very stuffy And it's hot in the apartment who have a tendency to increase blood (arterial) pressure, diseases of the cardiovascular system, and old age. What to do then at home, if you are in a stuffy room: an apartment or a private house? Let's talk about this...

What to do if the apartment is very hot and stuffy in the summer

The problem of heat in an apartment can be a concern both in summer and winter. In summer, the heat is caused by the sun, and in winter by excessively hot batteries. Both causes of heat can be dealt with quite successfully.

Fan will help you escape the heat not only in summer, but also in winter.

One of the most effective ways to combat the summer heat is air conditioner(split system). It is able to cool the air in the room and maintain the desired temperature.

Of course, this method has disadvantages - the air conditioner requires complex and expensive installation. However, you can purchase a mobile air conditioner that does not require installation.

If it is not possible to purchase and install an air conditioner, you can use another device - fan. With its help, the hot season is much easier to bear.

When the windows of the apartment face opposite sides of the house, you can open them and arrange draft. But you need to remember that staying in a draft for a long time can be dangerous to your health.

Need to limit penetration into the room sunlight. If curtains or blinds are not effective enough, you can use mirror reflective film, securing it to the window. It will reflect infrared and ultraviolet rays. This film is especially effective if your windows face the sunny side.

The heat in the apartment is more difficult to bear if air dry indoors. It's needed moisten. For this you can use wet towels or sheets by hanging them in the rooms. In addition, in stores you can find humidifiers, which will maintain humidity automatically.

Constant influx of fresh air will help you endure the heat more easily. Of course, open windows partially help in solving this issue. But there is a more effective and technologically advanced way - to install fresh air valves. They will ensure proper air exchange around the clock.

What to do if your apartment is hot in winter

In winter, some houses have very hot radiators. The air conditioner is powerless in winter - the external unit must operate at positive temperatures. But it can help in early spring, when it’s already around zero outside and the radiators are still hot.

The most effective way to deal with excessively hot batteries is installation on them thermostats or ordinary shut-off valves. With their help you can regulate the water supply. As a last resort, just block it.

If this is not possible, you can open the windows. But in winter this is fraught with the danger of catching a cold. If you open the windows for a short time, then after a while the air in the room will warm up again and the heat will return.

Heating radiators can be covered wet towels or sheets. This will humidify the air and reduce the temperature of the batteries. There is only one drawback - the sheets dry out quickly and need to be constantly moistened.

Another option is to wrap the battery thick blanket. It will serve as a heat insulator and help reduce the temperature. And next to the battery you can put jar of water, which will evaporate, reducing the dryness of the air.

The management company is responsible for regulating the temperature of the water supplied to your home. You can contact it with a request to reduce the temperature of the coolant. If your request is ignored, you can file a written complaint with Rospotrebnadzor.

Comfort for you in summer and winter!

Up-to-date tips on how to beat the heat indoors and outdoors.

Along with the long-awaited summer comes abnormal heat. Many people simply cannot stand the heat, they feel sick and heavy. Even those who love the heat are not always ready to endure temperatures below 30°.

Important: The surest way to avoid heat in an apartment or house is to install an air conditioner.

But if for certain reasons you do not have air conditioning in your apartment or house, you will have to look for other ways to solve a problem such as heat.

How to avoid heat in an apartment or house?

  • Open windows and balconies at night. During the daytime, when the sun appears, be sure to close all windows and the balcony. At night, on the contrary, open it. This method will help prevent heat from entering the room.
  • Cover your windows with reflective film. This is especially good to do in those rooms that are on the sunny side. Reflective film is not very expensive, but it works effectively. Regular foil will do.
  • Cover the windows with blinds or curtains. The less light that enters the room, the better. The sun can raise the temperature in a room by 10°C or more. Therefore, it is better to create twilight in the rooms using thick curtains or blinds.
  • You can use a fan instead of an air conditioner. A fan costs much less than an air conditioner, but can be very useful in hot weather. Cooling from a fan will be especially effective if you place a couple of bottles of frozen water in front of it. You can also place a fan near an open window, it will disperse the air coming from the street.
  • Limit the use of ovens and stoves. This in no way means that you should completely switch to eating in cafes and canteens, but it is worth preparing simpler food, since heating stoves and ovens leads to unbearable stuffiness, especially if the apartment is small.
  • Do wet cleaning regularly. Make it a habit to wet-clean your entire apartment every day. This is not only useful, but also cools the room by several degrees in the hot summer.
  • If you have a hot heated towel rail in your bathroom, just wrap it in foil.

Video: How to survive the heat in an apartment?

Important: There is a lot of talk about the rules for staying outside in the summer, but most people forget about them. They remember only when the sun is already preventing you from feeling normal. We will remind you of these simple rules.

How to survive the heat?

  • Before going out take a refreshing shower. There is no need to take a cold shower; sharp temperature contrasts are not beneficial. Simply freshen up with lukewarm water.
  • Headdress required. A hat is especially useful if you are outside at the peak of the heat. The choice of headwear is large - hats, bandanas, baseball caps. Choose the options that best suit you, but don't get sunstroke.
  • Sounds corny, but desirable stay home during the midday heat wave. If there is no urgent need, it is better to resolve matters before the peak of solar activity occurs, namely from 12 to 14 hours.
  • Wear cotton clothes. Loose cotton clothing makes you feel much more comfortable in the heat. If you do not want to get sunburned, choose clothes that cover your body as much as possible. Synthetics are not the best choice in general, and even more so in hot weather; in such clothes you will be even hotter.
  • Take it with you outside cooling drinks- water, green tea, homemade lemonade. In the heat, it is unacceptable to indulge in beer, coffee, or cocktails with vodka. This leads to dehydration of the body.
  • Women can put it in their purse small fan. This simple device will help you escape stuffiness in public transport and in crowded places.
  • If you're outside during the peak of the heat and you have an extra minute, eat ice cream in the shadow. Just don’t get carried away with ice cream; in the summer, people often get a sore throat due to hypothermia in the throat.

Important: Many doctors recommend walking barefoot on the grass in the summer. There are many points on the soles of the feet that stimulate the functioning of internal organs. As a result of walking barefoot on the grass, biologically active points are stimulated and blood circulates, which leads to an increase in the tone of the body.

  • Place it near the bed water bottle so that you can always freshen up at night.
  • Bed sheets It should be made of natural fabric, it won’t be so hot to sleep on. Some people chill their laundry in the refrigerator before going to bed. We do not recommend doing this. This method of cooling can lead to inflammatory diseases.
  • Do it at night slight draft in the apartment. A draft is something that many people are so afraid of, but in the heat it helps a lot. If the layout of the apartment does not allow for a draft, open the windows wide. Mosquito nets protect you from mosquitoes and other insects flying at night.
  • Install fan at minimum or medium speed, placing it at your feet. From a thermoregulation point of view, this is the best way to cool.

How to keep a room cool?

How else can you help your body cope with the summer heat:

  • Apply minimal makeup to your skin.
  • Gather long hair into a bun.
  • The heat is easier to bear if you are on the beach.
  • Eat light foods, limit heavy and fatty foods, and sweets.
  • Sweet sodas do not help quench your thirst, drink better plain water, green tea, mint tea, water with lemon and mint, lemonade.
  • Reduce active physical activity (running, weight training, cardio exercises), temporarily switch to calmer sports (walking, swimming, gymnastics with elements of yoga).

Heat / Heating, heat supply - payment

With the beginning of the heating season, the eternal disease of the Russian communal apartment has worsened again - there is a thaw outside the window, and the radiators are running at maximum. You have to open the windows, the heat goes outside. Along with it - the apartment owner’s money paid for heating. Is it possible to receive compensation for this? The Volgograd Region Housing Supervision Inspectorate provided clarifications on this issue.

The radiators are too hot: is it possible to return the money overpaid for heating?

“The air temperature in the apartment should not be lower than +18 °C, and in corner rooms - +20 °C. In this case, the permissible excess of the standard temperature is no more than 4°C; permissible decrease in standard temperature at night from 00:00 to 05:00 hours - no more than 3°C; a decrease in air temperature in a residential area during the daytime from 05:00 to 00:00 is not allowed,” the housing supervision clarification states.

For each hour of deviation from the norm, the utility fee is reduced by 0.15% of its amount.

If you have “fire radiators” at home and you are forced to regularly open windows to cool the rooms, then you can write a corresponding statement to the Criminal Code. Then she will have to record this in a special act. Only after this can you go to seek a reduction in heating fees. By law, specialists must measure the temperature in the apartment within two hours after you contact the Criminal Code or at another time by agreement with you.

The act is the basis for reducing the amount of fees for low-quality utility services. Moreover, if the management organization, on the basis of the above application, does not draw up the appropriate act, then this act is drawn up by the owners and signed by the chairman of the apartment building and at least two owners of the premises of this apartment building.

Separately, the supervisory agency draws attention to the fact that air temperature in residential premises is measured in a room (if there are several rooms - in the largest living room), in the center of planes spaced 0.5 m from the inner surface of the outer wall and the heating element and in the center of the room (the point of intersection of the diagonal lines of the room) at a height of 1 m.

Measuring instruments must comply with the requirements of the standards.

If the weather outside the windows is hot, dry, then you need to curtain the windows with thick curtains. It is best to choose a dense but lightweight fabric with a resistant color that will retain its color under the influence of the bright rays of the summer sun. The color of the curtains should not be bright or dark, as they will absorb, but not reflect, the rays of the sun.

Summer. Blessed time! But many people complain: it’s hot outside, it’s very hot in the apartment! What to do, how to save yourself? But really, are there any ways to escape the incredible heat? Eat. And we will tell you about them.

What to do if it's hot

If possible, try to avoid going out into the scorching summer sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Choose clothes made from fine cotton and linen, loose fit and light colors. Do not go outside without a hat - it will protect you from direct sunlight. Drink slightly chilled, but not cold, drinks. When going outside, grab a bottle of chilled water. Apply it to your armpits, neck, and under your knees. In these places under the skin there are large vessels and the blood can be cooled.

When you return indoors, wash your face and cool your elbows under cold water. If you have air conditioning, do not set the temperature too low - sudden temperature changes can make you sick. Set aside stone and metal decorations for now. Due to rapid heating, they contribute to overheating of the body. Try to avoid public transport. The best transport in the summer heat is the metro or a leisurely walk under the shade of trees.

You should not get carried away with antiperspirants; at this time it is better to stick to deodorants that do not stop sweating, but only eliminate the odor. Smoke less. It is known that nicotine causes a constriction of blood vessels, which results in an increase in blood pressure, which already increases in the heat.

Is it hot in the car? Hang sun shades on the car windows and cover the windshield with a mirror screen. Only install the screen outside, otherwise the heat will remain in the cabin.

Is it hot in the apartment? If you have not yet acquired an air conditioner, try covering the windows with damp sheets - they will act as a kind of screen for the outside heat. Do not get tired of washing your hands, neck and face with cool water. Wear a T-shirt that has been rinsed in cold water and wrung out. Is it impossible to sleep due to the heat? Take a cold shower before going to bed. Cover yourself with a damp sheet.

What to do to avoid being hot outside? If you plan to stay outdoors for a long time, take 75 mg of aspirin as a prophylactic measure. The drug thins the blood, thus helping to reduce the temperature. Since aspirin is irritating to the stomach, take the tablet after meals. Stock up on wet wipes; they pleasantly refresh your face and body, and the smell keeps you in a good mood.

What to drink in the heat

Due to increased sweating, the body's moisture reserves are quickly depleted, which weakens vascular tone. The necessary water balance is maintained by drinking plenty of fluids. A list of approximate water consumption at different temperatures looks like this:

  • 21°C - 1.5 liters per day;
  • 26°C - 1.9 liters;
  • 32°C - 3 liters.

The best drink to quench your thirst is lemon water. Juice from one lemon per bottle of still water. You can drink mineral water with mineralization – 9 g/l. Water should be consumed throughout the day in small portions. Once in the oral cavity, carbon dioxide stimulates salivation, the feeling of dryness disappears, and with it the feeling of thirst.

It makes sense to consume unsweetened juices - quince, apple, plum. Sweet juices are not suitable for quenching thirst, since sugar is very quickly transported from the blood into the cells, “taking” water with it. The thirst only intensifies.

With the onset of summer, people are faced with the problem of heat in the apartment, especially on the upper floors. It can be hot in winter too. But here everything will depend on the heating system in the apartment. There are a large number of ways to normalize the temperature in any room.

If the apartment is hot, the air in the room is quite dry. This can not only have a detrimental effect on the general temperature regime, but also on human health. In order to avoid this, you can use special air humidifiers that have some functions:

  • humidify the air;
  • ionize it;
  • stabilize the circulation of air masses;
  • create a favorable indoor microclimate.

Advice. Humidifiers can even be used in a child's room. This will only have a beneficial effect on the baby’s health and create a pleasant microclimate in the room.

Humidifier for children's room

There are other ways in which you can create a certain temperature regime in your apartment during hot weather:

  • using a fan;
  • installation of air conditioning or split system;
  • glass tinting;

Using a fan

A more affordable and acceptable way to combat heat in an apartment is to use a fan. It is not only capable of cooling air masses, but also promoting their circulation.

Today, manufacturers produce such devices with a heating element. Very often, when it gets hot, users simply forget to turn it off and thereby increase the temperature in the apartment even more. Before using the fan, you should carefully read the instructions for use in order to avoid problems with the settings in the future.

Modern fans are whole. There are not only functions of heating and cooling the room, but also air ionization. It represents a kind of disinfection and enrichment of air masses with ions, which have a positive effect on human health. It is especially important to use such systems in the summer, when the body is not too protected from the effects of various bacteria and infections.

Sometimes there are fan models that have containers for liquid. This is very important, because no matter what quality such a device is, it can still dry the air to some extent, but liquid simply will not allow this to happen and the air humidity will be normal. This is especially important in summer.


Fan spraying water

The fans have a rotating mechanism, which allows them to be widely used in rooms of any size. The main thing is that it has the required power.

Advice. If the room in the apartment is more than 18 square meters, then you need to use a fan with five switching speeds. It is considered very powerful and can stabilize the temperature even in a large room.

Advantages of fans:

  • practicality;
  • possibility of use 24 hours a day;
  • small amount of electricity consumption;
  • mobile (it is possible to install it in any room and move it).

Fans are a budget alternative to air conditioners. If the apartment is hot in winter, then they can also be freely used to regulate the temperature in the room.

Application of air conditioner

A comfortable microclimate in the rooms in which he spends most of his time is very important for a person. It is much more pleasant to be in a room with fresh air than in a hot room. This can be achieved by using conditioner.

There are certain standards for the content of oxygen and other minerals in the air. Any deviation threatens to disrupt not only the microclimate in the room, but also the entire temperature regime. With the help of special climate control equipment, you can maintain a favorable atmosphere with fresh cool air in the rooms. Today there are a large number that contribute to the regulation and circulation of air masses.

What is an air conditioner? This is a special device that creates and automatically maintains temperature conditions, air purity, humidity and air mass circulation speed. Air conditioners are suitable for creating favorable conditions not only in offices or other institutions, but also in apartments.

  • easy installation;
  • the ability to create any temperature regime.

An air conditioner can only cool the air in the room. There are different types of air conditioners and each model has its own properties, functions and noise level.

The only disadvantage of using an air conditioner is that it does not have the ability to supply fresh air to the room. It circulates and cools only those air masses that were already in the room. From time to time, while using the air conditioner, it is worth ventilating the room naturally - opening the windows and creating a draft. Thus, the room will always have fresh and cool air.

Properties of air conditioners:

  • air cooling;
  • air dehumidification;
  • air purification;
  • support of one temperature regime.

If the apartment is hot not only in summer, but also in winter, then the air conditioning system can also be used in winter, but only up to a certain temperature outside. As a rule, the temperature threshold for using an air conditioner can reach -10 degrees.

Air drying will be needed at a time when in the summer, before rain, stuffiness appears and humidity rises. The air conditioner is able to regulate the temperature at this moment and stabilize the air humidity level. This will only have a beneficial effect on the microclimate in the apartment.

Indoor ventilation

It is very important to create high-quality ventilation ducts for a beneficial microclimate in the apartment. They are present in the bathroom and kitchen. There is no such system in other rooms, and many try to create natural air ventilation systems.

Open windows and balcony doors create drafts.


A natural way to ventilate an apartment

Advice. Ventilation in a room using open windows and doors will only be effective when the windows and doors are open at an angle.

The only disadvantage of this method of ventilation is that it is ineffective if the windows are on the sunny side. When the apartment is hot in winter, you can open the windows. Warm air will escape very easily, and cool air will enter the room quite quickly.

If there redevelopment of the apartment and some walls have been moved or removed, then there is no way to create natural ventilation in such a room. You can correct the situation by installing special controlled hoods on the ventilation ducts. They can be turned on at full power - then the circulation of air masses will begin. Tinted glass

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the windows in the apartment. They must be sufficiently sealed and protected from the influence of infrared radiation and UV rays. Protection is provided by applying a special protective film to the glass, which will largely save the room from warming up, especially if the windows are on the sunny side. The film also has other properties that will become indispensable in everyday life.

Windows with mirrored thermal protective film

Today, many people use only metal-plastic windows in their apartments. They have their advantages:

  • tightness;
  • practicality;
  • durability;
  • ease of installation;
  • different sizes of double-glazed windows.

With this type of window it is possible to create natural ventilation. Windows open at different angles, depending on the type of furniture. If in winter the use of metal-plastic windows has a great effect on the indoor microclimate, then in summer this type of window is very often subject to heating under the influence of sunlight. They do not allow them to pass through, but the surface of the glass unit can heat up to a significant extent. As a result, the room becomes stuffy and dry. You can open the window and let in fresh air, or you can use it to stabilize the temperature of the split system.
