People from all over the UK would have opened their windows and try to keep fans cool between and keep them cool. Third heatwave Summer.
But to reduce the temperature in a building, there is a possibility of trying an alternative method of a university lecturer.
Dr. Ben Roberts, a senior lecturer in healthy buildings at the University of Laughtero, said that applying yogurt out of outside windows may reduce the temperature by 3.5C (38F).
He has pointed to the results of a month’s long use to show the results.
He said: “We cannot find a house to cool during the day.
“This is a real problem for a lot of people, so we have started looking at the shading solutions, stopping the sun in your house during the day.”
In May, Dr. Neelu Todh-Kharam, a student of Roberts and PhD, conducted one experiment on two identical testing houses at Lofborough University, by putting curd on the windows of one, but not the other.
The experiment found that the indoor temperature of the house with curd on the windows was average 0.6c (33F) cooler, but up to a maximum of 3.5c cooler when “hot and sunlight”.
Dr. According to Roberts, the curd makes a thin film on the window and represents some of the upcoming solar radiation because it is a mild color.
This does not mean that more heat passes through the window.
He reported that the BBC yogurt smells for “30 seconds when dried, but as soon as it has dried up” smell disappears “.
Dr. Roberts said that the idea came from a conversation with the heatwave toolkit website author Tom Greenhill, thinking of “low -cost methods”, which could stop overheating.
He said that Mr. Greenhill tried to plant curd at his house, but it was never tested.
For his use, scientists at the University of Lafboro used a supermarket-brand of Greek yogurt, with a fat of about 10%.
When he saw the results of the investigation, Dr. Roberts said he was “quite surprised” because he did not think it would be “effective”.
He said that when he conducted experiments with tinfoil – which blocks all the “too much” of the incoming sun’s heat – he saw a maximum temperature drop of 5 to 6C (41–42.8F), so he was “pleasant surprise” with the results of the curd experiment.
Dr. Roberts said: “It reflects the importance of treating windows and heat prescription solutions to windows to reduce overheating.”
He said, “We see a lot of summer deaths, so very easily if you can keep your house cooler then we will reduce the number of additional deaths of summer and we can improve people’s health and goodness,” he said.
Research Manager of Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers, Dr. Zo de Grusa said, “This is not your everyday hack, I will say, but whatever you can do, it can do anything that is of profit to prevent sunlight out of the windows and heat the internal environment.”
