Heatwave Cooling with Yogurt on Windows

With meteorologists warning that a mini-heatwave will be occurring over the weekend, now comes the perfect time to consider British engineer Tom Greenhill’s unconventional cooling solution. Described as a “low cost,” temporary application that will be able to better reflect sunlight and stop windows from overheating, the shock suggestion might just be the perfect solution coming during the forecasted heatwave. Although not every window will be able to get a benefit from applying the novel coating as every property has to be considered in full. Nonetheless, the technique ostensibly used by Greenhill might become even more popular is staying with an open window simply lacking any cooling properties to speak of.

Going against traditional mainstays such as curtains and automatic air conditioning, Greenhill’s new idea allegedly involves the use of yogurt: “He has been applying yogurt to windows to create a ‘fritted glass’ effect.” However, the effect of using dairy yogurt is that it will cool the room when the heatwave will roll into town. A supplemental benefit, as one could imagine, will be the low price coming with a higher environmental friendliness associated with yogurt.

The recipe for the window cooling covering is ostensibly simply applying yogurt with a roller. Should anyone worry about insects coming with the treat or its possible bed smell – they were assured that the window will not promote mold and is washable. Finally, should the loaf of bread the film somehow called sunlight simply gets too much – it is easy to remove and either take in as a snack or use as a cleaning agent.

More and more longevity considerations linked to climate change have been cropping up, with the Guardian remarking on a new tendency towards destructions and change in the field of design. The article by Housley mentioned shares bylines to Greenhill’s yogurt window suggestion in that they both warn about new products becoming a thing of the past regarding climate change. Analyzing future implications, it may be said that, as the application methodology of the windows is rudimentary enough, the application itself could become the future if found by testing to really cool the room down. As the summers in London are not as hot as they would have to be to require a window to be cooled, if the test reviews are confirmed – a dairy yogurt spoon or a roller will be enough to ensure a home doesn’t get too hot.
