In moderate weather, there are several ways to conserve energy use and minimize cooling expenses. Perhaps the best is to use fans as greener options or complements for air conditioners. With the right type of fan and cooperative outdoor temperature, your air conditioner use can be cut in half while remaining comfortable.
Whole-house fans often reduce a home’s temperatures by 2C to 5C (4F to 9F). This kind of fan is a practical way of cooling an entire house. They are more economical to use than the cost of air conditioning. Whole-house fans should be properly located so that air circulates from all the rooms in the house.
Ceiling fans generate air motion across your skin that increases the rate of evaporative cooling. A light breeze can boost your comfort range by several degrees. It will save energy by permitting you to reset your air conditioner’s thermostat up a notch. It might even wipe out the need for air-conditioning completely.
Window fans can be extremely useful when seasonal changes bring hotter days and cooler nights. The home can be cooled with outdoor air from window fans once the sun sets. During the day, the window fans are turned off. This technique uses electricity when power demands are lower.
Almost everyone can be a fan of making both the earth and your wallet a little greener.
