The UK’s houses are still designed to retain heat. In an age of global warming, that needs to change.

Im considering importing American tech when I eventually renovate my house, they have some great HVAC systems over there now.

If not I might put in some sash windows instead and buy the cheaper window aircons they use over there.

Im going to reder my house in brilliant white to reflect as much light as possible and also put in mirrored glass.

My house is completely south facing, which is great a lot of the time, but in this heatwave the rooms inside at hitting 30c by night. Fans arent enough anymore.

All that said, im glad we are getting some decent weather these days compared to summers of the past.
