There are several ways to cool your home, and one of them is free. That is natural ventilation. It is a way of harnessing the wind that nature provides to your advantage. Here are 5 ways to maximize natural ventilation to cool your home.

1. Open your windows and doors

The best way to allow natural ventilation to flow into your home is by opening your windows and exterior doors. There is no other way for it to enter.

2. Install insect screen

Opening your windows can leave your home wide open for insects. Installing insect screens on your windows will give you peace of mind that insects cannot enter your home and will encourage you to open your windows. You can install insect screen to your exterior doors as well.

3. Install window blinds

Opening your windows will allow direct sunlight to penetrate into your home. You can block direct sunlight by installing window blinds. Window blinds are the best window cover for maximizing natural ventilation because its blades can block direct sunlight and the spacing between its blades allows outside air to penetrate.

4. Use casement windows

Casement windows or swing-type windows are best for natural ventilation because they are 100% openable, unlike the ordinary sliding windows that are only 50% openable. These casement windows will give you double the area of opening to allow more air to enter.

5. Plant trees in your yard

Planting trees in your yard, especially in front of your windows, can also help block direct sunlight from going into your windows so that you will not worry about heat coming into your home. Not to mention that these trees can naturally make the surrounding air cooler.

As an example, BluHomes Breeze, an eco-friendly townhouse development in Amparo Caloocan, is designed to maximize natural ventilation. All its windows are casement-type windows for 100% window opening, and all are provided with insect screens and window blinds to encourage homeowners to open their windows. The front door and rear door are provided also with insect screens to allow natural air to flow through the home. The front yard is semi-landscaped to encourage homeowners to plant trees.

The best part about using natural ventilation to cool your home is that it makes your home eco-friendly. You will use less air conditioners and electric fans, consume less energy, and help reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere. And that can make your home eco-friendly.

I appreciated it when you mentioned that having insect screens on your windows or door will make you at ease that insects cannot enter your home and will prompt you to open your doors more often. This made me realize that my plan to have a fly screen on my door is a good choice. I will let a contractor handle the fly screens installation to make sure it's done properly.

Yes, you made a smart choice of having fly screen on your door. This will encourage you to open your doors and have natural ventilation inside your home. Good luck!

I greatly appreciate you talking about casement windows and what they're used for. Increased ventilation could matter a lot for our home, especially when the weather becomes nice enough that we don't need to rely on air conditioning. If I can find a window expert in the area, I'll ask them to supply us with some casement models and help us install them for sure.

It's great that you elaborated that having efficient windows could help manage the sunlight properly. My aunt mentioned yesterday that she was hoping to find a reliable flyscreen to prevent flies from entering their home. She asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. I'm thankful for this helpful article, I'll tell her it will be much better if she consults a trusted flyscreen company as they can provide details about their services.

Thank you for mentioning that all of its windows are casement-style windows with 100% window openings, insect screens, and window blinds, which all serve to entice homeowners to open their windows. My sister claims that there are insects in her home near her window. I'll advise her to grab the window screen.
