Close the windows, curtains and shades during the day, at around 8-9AM. When it's very warm outside, open windows are your enemy.
Open windows, curtains and shades during the night when temperature is lowering.
This is good advice to follow even if you do have air conditioning. Keeping the heat out makes the AC work less. Maybe invest a nice set of thermal curtains.
This is not good advice for poorly insulated houses, which most are that live in temperate climates. The sun will heat up the house almost immediately, making it an oven.
Agreed. If you live in an ovenhouse, ventilation is your friend. You can't keep the heat out, but your can keep it moving
Like all advice obtained on the internet, YMMV.
