Cool September nights

Cooler nights in September mean less reliance on air conditioning.  

Air conditioning cools our interiors, but can heat up the outside temperature by 1 - 1.5 degrees in cities. 

Opening windows in the early morning to let in the cool night air can quickly reduce indoor temperatures by several degrees, especially if you can create a cross breeze.  Just remember to close them again before the day starts to heat up.  

Raising the temperature of your air conditioner by even half a degree also helps save energy. 

If we each save a little, we all save a lot.
