Following are some tips from the Oregon Office of Energy. Window shading: Install exterior window awnings or plant trees and shrubs to keep the direct sun from reaching your windows and heating your home. Pre-cooling: At night, open skylights or upper story windows to let warm air out; open lower story windows to let the cool night air in. Close your windows and doors in the morning to keep the cool air in as long as possible. Ventilation fan: Install an attic ventilation fan to remove heat and improve your home’s ability to cool off. This will make your night cooling more effective. Lighting: Turn off lights whenever possible. Lighting, especially incandes cent, generates unwanted heat inside your home. Replace standard incandescent light bulbs with cooler compact fluorescent bulbs to help reduce heat inside your home. Compact fluorescent bulbs use approximately 70 percent less energy than standard light bulbs, put out less heat, and last much longer. Appliances: Operate your clothes washer, dryer, and dishwasher in the evening so they don’t add heat to the house during the day. Avoid baking and American Indian Film Festival stove-top cooking during the day. Cook at night, use the barbecue or serve a salad and other cold dishes for meals. Take cool showers. Air conditioning: You can save energy by turning the thermostat up. Set your thermostat at 78° when you’re home and at 85° when you’re away for extended periods of time. Service or tune-up air conditioning equipment annually. Clean or replace filters monthly - or sooner if you can’t see light through the filter. Clean filters make it easier for the system to work, keeping its perform ance level high. If you have central air conditioning that’s more than 10 years old or a window air conditioner more than eight years old, consider replacing it. Newer systems can be much more efficient. rules and regulations.
