Bedroom

• • In summer, keep windows and curtains closed during the day. Open them at night to let in the cool air.
• • Ventilate the house first thing in the morning, when the weather is cooler. In winter, you only need to ventilate a room for 10 minutes.
• • Insulate the ceiling and keep windows shaded to prevent sunlight getting in.
• • In winter, use long curtains with rails that close over completely to reduce heat loss.
• • Close all windows and doors in the room to let it heat up.
