It’s time to put a fan in front of the window
However, this method doesn’t work at all times of the day. To be truly effective, the outside air needs to be cooler than the inside air.
This situation often occurs in the evening or at night. After a sunny day, the walls, floor and furniture continue to release stored heat. At the same time, the outside temperature gradually begins to drop.
This is where an outdoor fan can help speed up the cooling of your home. Early morning is also a good time to remove any remaining heat before high temperatures return.
On the other hand, during the hottest hours of the day, it is generally advisable to keep windows, curtains and blinds closed to limit heat gain.
Ideal distance and tips for maximizing efficiency
For best results, it is not recommended to place the fan directly next to a window. A distance of one to one and a half meters usually provides better airflow to the outside.
Owners of two fans can go a step further. The first can be placed near an opening to bring in cooler air, while the second blows warm air out.
However, it is important to note that this solution has its limitations when the temperature rises very high and the air is particularly heavy. In such situations, it is still important to seek out cool places as much as possible, stay hydrated, and find a really cool environment whenever possible.
Sometimes the secret to better managing high temperatures is not in changing the device, but simply in changing its location.
