Although it isn’t officially summer yet, the weather here in Maryland is getting more hot and humid, and renters are looking for ways to keep their apartment cool and refreshing. While you might think that it takes a lot of energy to keep your living space comfortable throughout the summer, there are a handful of eco-friendly solutions for cooling down your apartment unit. It can get hot, and you don’t want your family or friends breaking a swear if you’re just hanging out in your living room. Read on for some eco-friendly ways to cool off your apartment this summer!

Indoor Plants and Shrubbery
n
A few indoor plants and shrubbery have benefits, including helping keep the air inside your space clean and cool. Since plants rely heavily on photosynthesis to survive, they consume sunlight and water to survive and create their own food. This means they take in heat and energy. Plants also absorb energy to function, so indoor plants will also absorb heat from the sun and make the air around them much colder.

LED Lighting in Your Apartment Unit

In addition to sunlight, your lamps could also give excess heat to make your room feel a lot warmer than it has to be. To keep your apartment cooled down, always turn off the lights before heading outside, and turn off all the lights when you leave any room too. When sitting in your bedroom or living room, try to only turn the lights on that are required, rather than switching on every single lamp. Also, swap out those older bulbs with LED light bulbs, as they’re more energy-efficient and last longer.

Run Appliances During the Night
n
Your apartment is warm enough as it is, but running appliances during the day will only add much more heat into the air. If you have to use the stove or oven for cooking meals, try waiting until the sun has gone down to avoid any increasing indoor temperatures. Of course, summer nights can also be very warm, so open a window or your balcony doors whenever you use the stove or oven to keep the air moving out. The dishwasher can also create heat and steam, so leave this apartment living chore for after sundown whenever possible.
