Tips to stay cool and conserve energy
When it comes to ways to beat the heat, officials say of course running air conditioners and closing blinds will help tamper down the temperatures inside your home. However, they also say shutting your AC off and opening your windows at night following sunset and evaporating the heat off your skin with showers and baths works well, too. And, of course, people are urged to hydrate.
On the other end of things, officials say to help conserve the city's energy and prevent brownouts, use AC only when needed and setting it to a higher temperature reduces the energy footprint. Also, unplugging non-essential appliances can help, as well as turning off or dimming lights.
