I am going to be posting here regularly this summer about our cooling strategy for the night. Here's an explanation of what I'm doing: www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social

No AC tomorrow, so we'll open up after it cools off enough. Still pretty warm at the moment. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

The open vs closed strategies are very close tonight. We plan to open up to get some fresh air in. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Open windows is the better strategy tonight. We've been closed for days, but we cracked windows when indoor RH was low so we could afford to let in some fresh air. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social

More humid tonight, so AC on is the better option. Savings are under $2 and 5 kg of GHG, so the savings are not as dramatic as some nights. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

We opened up last night. Humidity won't be that high tonight, so windows open is also a good strategy tonight, surprisingly! www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Haven't posted lately. Been closed up cause of smoke. Strategy tonight is open windows and smoke is diminishing, so we'll open up. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Sadly, better strategy tonight is stay closed. Looks like we're in for several days of same. Savings tonight nearly $4 and 13 kg GHG compared to opening. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social

We didn't use AC today (though at times I wished we had). We will tomorrow, so we'll close up in the morning when it warms up. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Most forecasts say it won't be hot enough for AC tomorrow. We're not opening up yet: still too sticky outside. We'll see what it's like in the morning. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social
