Summer tips

Do not rely on one trick: combine repellent, loose long clothing, and barriers such as screens or a mosquito net.

Choose light, loose cotton or linen when it is hot. It feels airier and helps your body cool itself more comfortably.

When you feel overheated, cool your forearms, neck, or feet first. It can give quick relief without jumping straight into a cold shower or cooling the whole room.

Track temperature and humidity, but decide when to ventilate using occupancy, CO₂, and moisture sources too. Keep the room cooler without sacrificing fresh air.

A parked car can turn dangerously hot fast. Take pressure containers, batteries, glass, medicine, food, people, and pets with you.

In summer, use your beach towel no more than twice before washing it. Wash it sooner after sweat, sand, pool water, sunscreen, or musty smells.

Keep your home cool without letting it turn stuffy: during heat, ventilate briefly when humidity or CO2 starts to build up.

Shade sunny windows, but do not leave occupied rooms without air exchange all day. Ventilate according to air quality, occupancy and temperature, not a rigid windows-closed rule.
