How to keep the room cool when living on the top floor in summer?

1, reasonably open and close doors and windows. When it is cool in the morning and evening, open the doors and windows for ventilation, so that the air can circulate. During the day, especially at noon, close the doors and windows to isolate the invasion of outdoor hot air, and draw a light curtain to block the sun and reflect the heat radiation, so that the room becomes cool.

2, balcony greening, courtyard greening. Some data show that planting grapes, morning glory, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and some flowers and plants on the courtyard balcony can reduce the temperature of the attached wall by 5℃ ~ 14℃ and the indoor temperature by 2℃ ~ 4℃.

3, indoor use of fans and water evaporation cooling. For example, after wiping the floor indoors with a wet mop, turn on the ceiling fan to evaporate and absorb the ground heat; You can also put a basin of cold water (preferably ice cubes) in front of the fan, which can reduce the indoor temperature and increase the air humidity.
