Heatwave: this simple trick can lower the temperature of your home by 6°C

Insulate with bio-based materials

This guide suggests investing, “where possible, in bio-based insulation , “ which is the most effective for ensuring significant thermal lag, meaning the time it takes for heat to pass through a material. The longer it takes for heat to pass through the insulation, the cooler the home stays. For example, wood wool provides eight hours of thermal lag, twice that of expanded polystyrene.
