It is currently summer in India.
Are there any behavioural or infra modifications that would help handle the increased heat?
I have read about how white roofs would reduce heat absorption and energy needed for cooling
Are there other things like that? Especially ones that regular people can try? The other type(policy decision type) are ok too tho. Would be good to know them.
Also, are there any communities that would have discussions on such topics? Like a TIL or DIY community where people talked about general issues and solutions.
Is it this community?
If it’s not overly humid, evaporative air conditioners are a cheap to run way to keep cool. The personal units (Convair Classic etc) are typically about 50 to 80 watts, so a single solar panel, battery and inverter should guarantee safe, grid free cooling for one or two people.
I think humidity in India is generally rather high?
Thank you.
I’m in Kerala. We do have decent humidity in most areas here.
If you’re open to it, please consider an AMA or a write-up on Kerala on Hexbear.
I’m sure people would love to hear about the political situation and life there!
These might be worth trying, I don’t know.
