5 Ways to Keep Your Home Cool and Comfortable During Ramadan
As a tropical country, the hot and humid weather is a challenge during Ramadan, especially for those of you who live in limited space, which makes the atmosphere even hotter. Using electronic devices like air conditioners or fans often makes the body more susceptible to illness. Here are some ways you can keep your home cool in a more natural way during Ramadan to increase your focus on your prayers.
1. Reduce Sun Exposure
Reducing sunlight is the easiest way to keep your home cooler. Blocking heat with curtains or roller blinds is a good choice. The thickness of the curtains also affects the amount of sunlight entering the house. If you want to keep the room cool but need less light, curtains made of thin fabric can be the solution.
2. Good Air Circulation
Maintaining good air circulation ensures that hot air inside the house can enter properly and cooler air from outside can enter. Opening windows and using a fan from a distance can help improve air circulation in the house. Having a well-ventilated home can even lower the room temperature by around 2-3°C.
3. Cotton Clothing
There are several fabrics that keep the body cool, one of which is cotton. Cotton, made from natural plant fibers, is smooth, soft, and allows good air circulation around the body. Avoid materials that easily cause heat, such as polyester, spandex, and denim. Choosing cool materials for clothing and other items around you, such as bed linens, carpets, and sofas, can make you more comfortable during Ramadan.
4. Reduce the Use of Electronic Devices
Electric components left on for extended periods can actually trigger heat waves, indirectly bringing more hot air into the house. Items such as incandescent bulbs, computers, and televisions are examples of items that are frequently used for long periods and cause heat. You can turn off these devices and use electronic equipment more efficiently.
5. Indoor Plants
Placing plants in and around the house is a very effective way to cool the house. For outdoor use, shady plants will reduce direct sunlight. Indoor plants, on the other hand, serve a purpose. You can find some suitable indoor plants in this article.
