So your Parkchester 1bedroom, 2br, or 3br apartment lacks air conditioning as of this reading.

Well, there are still several very simple steps you can take to beat the heat, especially during those blistering hot spells expected during summer months. (Remember the heat wave that just past? WHEW!!!)

By the way, some of these suggestions are also helpful to those concerned with energy conservation.

[ 1 ] During the daytime (especially on very, very hot days) slide curtains over windows to prevent sunlight/sunrays from streaming unchecked into your apartment. Consider this: the sun heats up walls and floors, and this stored-up heat slowly radiates throughout your apartment hours after sunset. Putting up curtain minimizes this.

[ 2 ] You might want to consider bypassing those inexpensive floor fans found in budget stores and investing, instead, in a TOP-QUALITY floor fan. The cooling effect better floor fans provide may surprise you. (Vornado, for example, receives nice ranking here.) Using ceiling fans is another highly recommended option.

[ 3 ] Where possible consider using fluorescent light bulbs. These are available in a variety of sizes & shapes and generate virtually no heat – especially in comparison to regular lightbulbs. Proof??? All you have to do is feel the heat generated from, say, a 100 Watt bulb that has been on for a long-enough period of time.

[ 4 ] Consider Shutting off your computer when it is not in use. The computer’s monitor and tower could generate significant amounts of heat. You may even consider using your computer’s “sleep” cycle features to automatically shut down computer when not in use.

[ 5 ] During extremely hot days, taking sporadic, super-quick cool showers as day goes by helps keep body temperature down. Allow yourself to air-dry. Also wear loose-fitting, light clothing. Avoid wearing clothes woven with synthetic (man-made) fabric.
