Great Britain is literally not built for the roast of temperatures, which is why heat waves are really so much worse here than in other countries.
That could be the reason why I tried everythingFrom the creation of a cross -prayer to the closure of my curtains during the day To keep my own home cool (for free).
Well, if strange, messages: Scientists believe that they have found a solution that may be in their fridge, or at least have learned that a really Boncher approach is surprisingly effective.
Dr. Ben Roberts, a lecturer of the Loughborough University in healthy buildings, said that skidding (well, covered) with yogurt could really protect her from harmful rays (yes, really).
How can yogurt protect my home from the sun?
Dr. Roberts and the PhD student Niloo Todeh-Kharman tried a one-month experiment, covered the window of a house with yogurt and left the panes of another, identical (of course normal day in the office).
They found that the house with the windows triggered with dairy products an average of 0.6 ° C cooler-but on roasted hot days it was a much more stronger 3.5 ° C.
This is a significant decline, especially if one showed the latest research at the University of East London that 80% of the British houses in summer experience overheating in the summer of 18% in 2011.
It worked, said Dr. Roberts by delivering a thin film on the glass that reflected part of the light of the sun and prevented some warmth from entering the house.
The expert added that the food smelled poorly when drying: the smell “disappeared” afterwards; It cannot be shaped if it dries completely what it will be on a sunny day, since all bacteria-tree moisture moisture evaporates.
He said he was “quite surprised” about the results of the test, although we are honest, we were amazed that it was invented.
Should I add yogurt to my windows?
If you want, this can actually protect against this heat.
But it is anything but the only way to reduce the medium temperature in your house, nor is it the only effective “inexpensive” option that the experts from the Loughborough University have tried.
They also learned that Zinnoil, which is more reflective than yogurt, lowers the temperatures of the houses by 5-6 ° C when they are directed out of the glass.
In the meantime, shutters, blinds and curtains seem to be a great way to keep their home at an appropriate level of heat.
