How to create a favorable microclimate on the site! Let's talk about the influence of wind on plant development. Criteria for choosing windows for apartment equipment
How to create a microclimate in an apartment that contributes to the excellent well-being of household members - actual question for those who care about health and strive to create favorable conditions living in a confined space. Designers know effective ways filling the apartment with clean mountain air and maintaining.
How to heat your house without harm to your health
When the air temperature outside the window is low, it is extremely important to operate, which burns minimally the level of oxygen in living spaces with closed windows. To neutralize this effect, most manufacturers of convectors, oil and infrared heaters equips the equipment with built-in humidifiers and air ionizers. Some models are complemented by integrated fans that speed up the process of heating the room, but it is worth focusing on the opposite effect - rapid circulation automatically raises dust and saturates the air in the rooms with it, which negatively affects the respiratory system of residents. Therefore, the best way to enhance the effect of heating an apartment is to install devices that can significantly increase the heat transfer of devices.
It will help to radically improve the microclimate in the apartment. From the point of view of doctors, the optimal room temperature is between 18-22 degrees. It is possible to set this heating mode or adjust it depending on individual needs by controlling thermostats that set the optimal operating mode. Besides functional system heating will not only help optimize the microclimate in residential premises, but also save the consumption of expensive heat energy.
Advice! If there is a lack of heat in the house, it is advisable to organize where at any time you can warm up and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere emanating from the hearth.
Thanks to the innovative developments of designers, apartment residents can install gas or with a realistic installation of a burning flame of fire, the sound of crackling wood and coal, on equal terms with the owners of private houses. Advantageous feature electric fireplaces– absence of the effect of releasing combustion products harmful to health, characteristic of genuine home fires. The fashion for fireplaces intended for installation in apartments influenced the creation of a huge model range equipment that can look organically in any interior, be it ornate empire style.
Criteria for choosing windows for apartment equipment
The question “how to create a microclimate in an apartment”, where the air condition could be compared with countries with impeccable ecology, needs to be asked from the moment you start overhaul. Windows must be made exclusively from natural wood, allowing air to pass through external environment and does not emit harmful substances during heating, unlike. When comparing polymer and wooden windows blocks, a number of factors can be identified that determine the state of the microclimate in the apartment:
- The ability of wood to pass air affects recharge room air oxygen. Plastic neutralizes the effect of air exchange, creating a feeling of vacuum in a room with closed windows.
- Polymer profiles are characterized by a high degree of electrostaticity, which causes the attraction and accumulation of dust, which has a detrimental effect on the health of allergy sufferers. Therefore, the microclimate in an apartment with plastic windows is strictly contraindicated for residents with respiratory problems and children.
- When installing profiles from coniferous species wood (pine, fir or cedar) in the apartment you can breathe as easily and freely as in the forest. Coniferous trees even after felling and processing for many years, they are released biologically active substances– phytoncides that disinfect the air from microorganisms harmful to health. It is worth noting that scientists have proven the fact that plastic releases dioxin when the polymer is heated, which produces a poisonous effect on others.
- The level of sound insulation of wooden profiles is significantly higher than that of plastic windows, since wood is capable of holding both low and high frequencies, while polymers are capable of holding only high sound frequencies. With wooden profiles
most isolated from street noise.
Impeccable hypoallergenic properties, a high degree of strength, and the ability to withstand the effects of moisture, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature fluctuations determine excellent performance properties, which should be given preference if you want to create a healthy microclimate in the apartment.
Having set the goal of creating ideal conditions in the internal environment of the apartment, you need to complete the primary task - choose climate control equipment. To facilitate the search, you need to measure the area of living quarters and study the indicators of a hygrometer that can determine the state of the microclimate in the apartment. The functional device is designed to control the climate conditions in an enclosed space, where it can instantly determine the temperature and humidity level of the air.
- – multifunctional device climate control technology, without which it is difficult to imagine life in dusty cities and provinces with constantly fluctuating heating conditions. Modern split systems are capable of cooling, heating, and humidifying air regardless of the street temperature and the operation of heating equipment. To improve the microclimate in studio apartment or, you should give preference to models with integrated system filtering and purifying air from dust and harmful impurities. They not only disinfect the air, but also enrich it with ions and phytoncides, which are sorely lacking in the air of urban areas. Modern technologies we have maximally improved split systems that are responsible for the state of the microclimate in the apartment. It is possible to control and monitor the operating mode of the air conditioner remotely using Wi-Fi. Thanks to the mobility of the split system, you can install the optimal room temperature while at work, on a business trip, or in the car on the way home.
- Air washing gradually cleans and humidifies the air: it performs an antibacterial function, carries out plasma ionization, eliminates dust, animal hair and allergenic pollen, and enriches the space with moisture that is missing to the optimal level.
Advice! If there is not enough space to accommodate a large split system or equipment that humidifies the air, a microclimate system in the apartment will permanently get rid of the problem of excessive dry air, dampness, and insufficient heating or ventilation of residential premises.
A set of equipment equipped with combined engineering systems heating, air conditioning, ventilation, humidification and dehumidification - a universal climate control model. The prototype of such multifunctional equipment is a system that automatically creates an ideal microclimate in the apartment.
The microclimate of an apartment is determined not only by the operation of split systems, heaters, humidifiers and air purifiers, but also by the materials used for furnishing and decorating the rooms. It is extremely important to study the impact on the environment of certain details of the furnishings and cladding of premises. Therefore, for finishing an apartment, you should give preference to those treated with organic dyes like zelige ( Moroccan style tiles), paper, paint with high hypoallergenic properties, and gypsum partitions, clinker brick, marble, granite, wood and others natural materials without treatment with chemical compounds.
In addition to the beneficial effect on the environment Decoration Materials With natural basis They are distinguished by durability of use and the ability to not lose their original appearance for a long time. Naturalness should be evident in every element of interior design.
The crops you grow in your garden are greatly influenced by the weather. Of course, we cannot cancel winter or ban rain. But it’s wise to use the conditions that exist and we can “control” the weather a little in our garden.
Harvest on the south side of the forest forest berries it is usually richer than on the northern side - the forest blocks the northern cold winds, and the sun warms this particular place better. If you build a vegetable garden here, under the protection of the forest, then heat-loving vegetables will feel much better in such a garden than in open place. If there is no high vegetation to the north of the garden, then windproof awnings, fences, and fast-growing shrubs can be installed directly next to the beds on the north side.
If your garden is located in a low area, be aware: low places are considered colder than high places. Cold (heavier) air currents always tend to descend from high places to the lowlands, therefore in low places, especially in the evening, the air temperature is always lower than in elevated places, therefore frosts occur more often in low places. Fogs also rush here, into the lowlands, which contribute to the development of late blight. Vegetables do much better in a garden built in elevated areas.
Vegetables feel better in the garden, which is located on the south side of the hill, on the southern slope. Firstly, on the southern slope the north wind is not so cruel. And secondly, the southern slope is well warmed by the sun and here you can grow heat-loving vegetables that, it would seem, would never grow in these places. The owner of a northern garden should especially remember this: the sun here does not rise as high as in the south. The rays of the northern sun fall on the earth at a smaller angle than in the south, and therefore warm the earth less. And if you build a garden on the southern slope of a hill or mountain, and even if this slope is steep enough, then the sun’s rays will fall on your garden almost vertically and it will be as warm here as under the southern sun.
If your garden is located on the banks of a large river or large lake, remember that the water heats up slowly and cools just as slowly. Therefore, in the spring, when the earth has already warmed up sufficiently, and the water still will not part with the winter cold, your garden will often suffer from night frosts: in the spring it is always much colder near the water than in an open, elevated place. But at the beginning of autumn, the river and lake will help out your garden - the water does not cool down for a long time, reluctantly parting with the heat collected over the summer and sharing this heat with plants growing nearby. Therefore, the autumn cold does not appear on the banks of rivers and lakes longer, so autumn frosts come here much later.
In your garden you will always find a place where it will be warmer in spring, summer and autumn and where heat-loving vegetables will feel better. Typically, the warmest areas of the garden are near the southern wall of the house or near a high solid fence, which block the way for cold winds. In addition, both the wall of the house and the fence reflect part of the falling on them sun rays. These reflected rays also warm the earth. Heat-loving vegetables will also do well under the protection of berry bushes that grow in the garden.
It's easy to arrange around the garden hedge, which will protect vegetables growing in the garden from the cold wind. To do this, it is good to plant hawthorn and yellow acacia bushes along the fence. In order for the living wall to be denser, the bushes will have to be trimmed periodically, as they do on boulevards and parks. But if in parks and boulevards decorative bushes are not allowed to rise high, then our task is to grow a fairly high hedge wall, because a low fence can only protect from the wind small area vegetable garden It’s even better to plant young fir trees along the fence, on the side where the cold winds come from. True, fir trees do not grow as fast as the same acacia, but the spruce wall will hold back any cold both in summer and spring, when the acacia and hawthorn have not yet had time to bloom and cannot prevent the cold winds from ruling the garden. The spruce wall, which has grown over ten years, becomes an insurmountable barrier to the cold wind. But for this, in order for a real spruce wall to be formed from the fir trees, the tops of the fir trees have to be trimmed, just as the tops of fir trees planted along the railway tracks are trimmed.
They will stop the wind and help create suitable conditions for growing heat-loving plants and such simple structures. Solid wooden shield It is convenient to install near the fence itself, if the fence itself does not block the wind, if it is made of poles or rare slats. Simple frame You can use stakes and poles to fence any garden bed, and then hang mats woven from straw or reed onto this frame - such a structure will help create the necessary conditions for growing heat-loving plants anywhere in the city.
Instead of a pole frame and mats, you can use a regular wattle fence, that is, a fence woven from twigs. Making such a fence is very simple, and if you coat the rods with clay, you will get an excellent barrier from the wind. For growing heat-loving plants under open air It is very good to build a special fence from a wicker fence-wall, adding side walls-cheeks to the wicker wall and raising the same wicker canopy over the garden bed. Under such protection, heat-loving vegetables will feel very good.
It will help to grow heat-loving vegetables in the open air and special crops of corn, sunflowers, peas next to beds of cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini... Corn and sunflowers, sown in several rows on the north side of the site where heat-loving vegetables are grown, will also hold back the cold. If your garden suffers from hot southern winds in the summer, then similar crops of corn and sunflowers on the south side will also take the attack of the dry wind. Planting peas will also help heat-loving vegetables if the peas are raised to special stands and don't let him lie on the ground. Such crops of tall-stemmed plants that hold back cold and hot winds and in their own way help other vegetables are usually called curtain crops, and the plants themselves are called curtain plants. Setting up corn and sunflower fields in any garden is not very difficult. Arrange such scenes at your place, and you will see that the cucumber crop under the protection of the scenes can be harvested much earlier than in an open place. You can create the necessary microclimate for growing certain vegetables in almost any garden. This case is surprisingly interesting. Think for yourself, wouldn’t it be interesting to create a garden bed in your garden where, for example, it would be as hot as in the Astrakhan steppes, although these steppes are separated from your garden by many, many kilometers...
Each garden has its own microclimate. Sunny, dry, wet, windy, secluded, warm, cold... how can we shape the microclimate of the garden? Is it possible to change it locally and adapt it to our personal needs?
The microclimate of the garden is influenced by both regional and local environmental conditions. Regional conditions come down to climate of this region. Often, when making an entry in the gardener’s calendar section, at the end of the text they make a reservation that, for example, the dates they write about may be slightly different for different regions of the country and what we can do in Kherson, for example, in mid-March, will be safer in Lviv only in the first half of April.
We also know that on a climate scale, conditions can vary. This can be due to both human actions and natural conditions, i.e. terrain. For example, the temperature in highly urbanized areas will always be higher (even by a few degrees) than in rural areas, and the humidity is lower. This is the result of the secondary development of the microclimate and is caused by the influence of technogenic factors.
I remember from my training days how they were always complaining about strong winds in some areas of the city, and how windy it was between blocks. Sometimes our teachers gave an example of this area as a place where local gusts of air and aerodynamic characteristics of the tunnel are formed, which in turn leads precisely to sharp gusts of wind even on seemingly windless days.
Human actions influence his environment and often determine the local microclimate. Moreover, if we can change it negatively, then we can also influence its specificity positively. This influence, of course, has its limits. I would define it rather as an artificial technology of the same microclimate.
You already understand what we are talking about. No more, no less, I want to prove to you that you have power. The power of influence on the formation of the microclimate of your environment! The power is limited, but still. And further in the recording I will try to help you understand this power, i.e. this tool.
In order to begin to effectively and correctly use this power, we must have a good understanding of the mechanisms that control the microclimate at the local level. So that each of you can use it in your garden.
Analysis of local microclimate
Undoubtedly, knowing the local conditions of our garden helps. It is important to know exactly what factors are biotic and abiotic, that is, living and nonliving. Because both of them have an impact on the microclimate of a given place.
Analysis of the local microclimate is often included in the design of houses. Its results have an impact on the accepted initial design data. When I enter a given area, I immediately look where the south is, how the sun falls, where the shadow lies, what the relief and its surroundings look like, how the winds blow, etc. I look at a lot of things, but two of them I think are the most important. This:
- wind;
- humidity.
It is they who ultimately have the greatest influence on the microclimate of a given place. And thanks to their control, this microclimate can ultimately be changed. But in order to change, you need to very carefully determine the method of implementation. This problem could be, for example, too strong wind in a given place.
An example of a garden diagram around a private house: orange - moderate lighting; yellow - strong; blue - shadow. It rarely happens that we find ourselves on an empty field. As a rule, something grows in a given area. Below is a list of factors and landscaping elements that are especially worth paying attention to in terms of their impact on the local microclimate. You can be aware of their influence both in the context of designing a future garden and using it for an existing one.
- Fences, fences, walls;
- Residential and commercial buildings;
- Gazebos;
- Small architecture objects;
- Type of coverage;
- Reservoirs;
- Relief: elevations, hills, depressions, ramparts;
- Terrain exposure, tilt if necessary;
- Vegetation and in particular hedges, tall trees, lianas;
As landscaping elements, they affect the microclimate in the garden
All vertical barriers such as walls, fences, hedges and old trees present an obvious barrier to wind and sunlight. This barrier limits or modifies the influence of these factors to varying degrees depending on its design, height, etc.
In the context of vertical equivalent, there is one important thing to keep in mind. Most often we perceive these partitions as a shield from the wind. However, there is another side to the coin in the literal sense of the word. A barrier like stone fence, has two sides. And if one of these sides is actually protected from the wind, then the other is subject to its accumulation and the formation of various turbulences. Consequently, conditions after a wind-exposed fence are significantly more unfavorable than if there were no barrier at all.
The same is true with the sun. Whether it's a fence or a building, there will generally be more shade on one side than the other. And again, the conditions, as before, will be very different. It is also worth remembering that what can be done on one side cannot be done on the other.
Did you know that from the point of view of improving the overall microclimate of the garden, it is better to create a continuous protective wall. Why? Because it gently dissipates the wind, softening the force of the impact without causing sudden changes in air or congestion. Hedges look great in this role, not to mention a wall of trees. When we go for a walk in the forest on a windy day, the moment we cross its threshold everything becomes silent and the wind loses its strength significantly. Planting trees in our gardens works the same way. Moreover, these living partitions do not cause air stagnation or moisture stagnation during the colder months. It is worth keeping in mind when installing any fences or barriers that too many of them can lead to not very positive consequences.
Another important factor One that has an impact on the local microclimate of the garden is the topography. Even on a scale small garden, a courtyard can have this meaning, not to mention mountainous areas or hills where all estates are located on slopes, have a certain slope, and therefore a special microclimate. It has long been known that on the southern slopes the herding begins much earlier than on the northern side. Southern exposure even in micro (for example, on a terrace) is a big bonus for us and our plants, creating much more profitable terms for development, especially for heat-loving plants.
Did you know that cold air is heavier than warm air? Yes, yes, that's why we freeze in the valleys. And this also affects the conditions of the garden and private plots. Let's take, for example, the case that we installed a swimming pool, this is a recess in our garden. And what? And the fact that it is there that cold air masses can stop and are located.
Let us now take the question of humidity. Of course, the type of soil, groundwater level and independent terrain features are of primary importance for its parameters. We can influence it, that's obvious. If the humidity is too high, professional drainage or increasing the relief will solve the problem, and if the landscape is too dry, an irrigation system will help. And this is not the end. It is worth noting that, in addition to the obvious issues, water affects the local temperature increase even by 2-3 degrees; for this it is enough to have a garden pond. The water gives off heat, due to which a slight warming is noticeable in the city, especially at night. Currently, this effect on a macro scale can be observed by residents of the coast, especially in autumn near the Black Sea, warmer air gives off heat, softening the temperature and reducing its amplitude (differences between times of day).
I started the article with an example of urban areas, writing that it is a little warmer there. But I didn’t say why, and this is important for both gardens and private plots. Wall coverings, structures, receive heat, which is then transferred environment. The more asphalt, paving stones, concrete, walls, the stronger this insulation effect is, because there are more batteries.
Let us finally take vegetation. Its presence has a huge impact on the local microclimate, both negative and positive. Plants release oxygen, increase air humidity, and release essential oils, reduce its temperature, improve hygienic conditions. As I already wrote, a grassy area can have a temperature lower than a concrete one, up to eight degrees. But only if we compare the lawn with asphalt the difference is shocking, because it is sixteen degrees.
Some trees can emit substances that are harmful to people or other plants. It is worth remembering the other side of the coin. Especially big trees result in insufficient rainfall reaching the base under the crown, meaning unfavorable moisture conditions. Any overlap gives a similar effect.

Conclusion
The microclimate of the garden can be consciously changed to some extent. However, we do not always have such an opportunity. And labor costs are not always commensurate with the result. Therefore, it may sometimes be worth trying to adapt the garden to local conditions, in terms of decisions and species selection. However, knowledge of the rules affecting the microclimate in the garden plays a role important role. We use this knowledge not only to make changes, but also during the organization and daily use of the garden to optimize its composition and ease of use.
How to change the microclimate of the garden
Climate is the main factor in any particular area. General type climate - hot, dry, humid, arctic, temperate, etc. The different microclimates created by vegetation, soil and topography are also taken into account. Two sites that are only a few kilometers apart may differ in rainfall, wind speed, relative humidity, and therefore it is necessary to analyze specific local conditions, without relying on a general climate characteristic for a given region. Doing this important condition or, conversely, neglecting it will largely determine what the place will be like after some time - a truly pleasant place to live, or whether the site will change hands due to unsatisfactory living conditions.
Studying the microclimate on the site will make it possible to do the following:
Place buildings, plants and animals in the most suitable places. The house will be on the sunny side of the hill in a temperate climate and on the shady side in hot climates. To focus useful energies and dispel unwanted ones - install a windbreak in front of the house and field or, conversely, if we are talking about a hot climate, install a special alley of trees through which the wind flows to the house. Expand the zone with a favorable microclimate.
The steepness of the slope determines the amount of rainwater absorbed by the soil and the stability of the soil; however, in relation to the microclimate, its influence on the movement of cold air masses is more important. Cold air is heavier than warm air, and therefore it tends to descend from convex hills into concave valleys. There it accumulates, as a result of which the likelihood of frost increases. The tops of mountains and hills are also susceptible to frost because cold air collects on flat areas there. The warmest places are usually located in the middle, on average above the 20-meter mark from the foot of the slope. Due to the fact that the microclimate in such places is warmer than in the valleys and at the top, they are often called thermal zones. In the past they were often used to house houses and villages
Any area is exposed to winds that are common to the entire region, sometimes with the potential for catastrophic impacts such as hurricanes. However, when planning, it is imperative to take into account the prevailing wind directions in a particular area. The reason for the occurrence of winds moving along the slopes is the rapid heating and cooling of the earth on cloudless days and nights. Cooler air, being heavier, moves downward. In large valleys, local winds follow a diurnal cycle (upslope during the day and downslope at night).
Large bodies of water, rivers, and large lakes heat up and cool down slowly, which significantly affects the air temperature in the surrounding area. Water also affects air temperature through evaporation. When this process occurs, energy is removed from the surrounding air and a drop in temperature occurs in parallel with an increase in humidity. Even small lakes and ponds can have a significant impact on the microclimate, especially in arid regions.
Vegetation has a significant impact on the microclimate. Forest, grove, windbreak, bushes and climbing plants is the factor that mainly shapes the microclimate on the site. Vegetation can influence the temperature in a particular area due to the following factors:
moisture evaporation;
convective heat transfer;
shadow;
wind protection;
thermal insulation;
Blocked sunlight has a significant impact on the microclimate. An area of bare soil can lose up to 20% of its original temperature after being placed in the shade. Trees with dense foliage retain up to 75-90% solar energy, while the sparse foliage allows most of the light to shine through. Trees with fluffy foliage and those in which it is colored dark color, absorb light and, consequently, heat.
In contrast, trees with sparse leaf cover, planted on the eastern or sunny side, protect from sun rays in summer, but let them through in winter. Trees that shed their leaves function on the same principle, but only in winter time. The shape of the leafy canopy of mature trees must also be taken into account, whether it is round, oval, pyramidal or columnar, as the shadow cast will also have a certain shape. In order to take advantage of the reflected foliage, the surrounding air heats up and rises. Cold air is drawn into the forest, which remains cool throughout the day. At night, this process occurs in the opposite direction, when air warmer than the temperature of the outside space flows out of the forest.
If such an arc faces the sun, then the heat reflected from the shiny leaves will concentrate inside it, making this area warmer than others. Sun traps like these can also be used on slopes where a vegetation barrier will trap heat rising upward. The arched shape will allow the cold air coming down to bend around obstacles and thus minimize the damage caused by frost. Additionally, such plantings, depending on the direction of the wind, help deflect cold air currents away from the house or field. Shrubs and climbing plants placed next to the house protect it from the wind, and also create additional isolated space between the house and the plantings, reducing losses heat. Shrubs and trees can be very helpful in catching snow where needed. Snow melts slowly on sunny days, allowing the soil to warm up slowly and gradually. It must be said that there can be both a positive and negative effect, depending on what kind of vegetation is located near the windbreak. Spring shoots, for example, will appear later in such places than in places where the snow melts faster. To create a special microclimate, it is effective to use climbing species, ground cover crops and shrubs. In windy places, plants suffer most from a lack of shelter. To correct the situation, it is best to install trellises at right angles to the walls of the house. Trellis serve many purposes. They separate living space and places intended for relaxation and work; prevent the movement of cold air along the walls and act as sun catchers, and in themselves are the basis for placing climbing plants on them. Such trellises can extend from the corners of the house or simply divide the facade into several parts, providing additional space for benches, lawns and vegetable gardens.
In addition to the fact that climbing plants can be used for windbreaks, their potential as fast-growing species must also be taken into account. This advantage can be used to ensure that climbing plants create the necessary shade at first, until larger trees have grown. It must be borne in mind that climbing species grow very quickly, which subsequently makes it difficult to control their spread. Therefore, periodically such plants need to be pruned. Therefore, before planning to place such plants in any specific place, it is necessary to study all the features inherent in a particular species. Climbing plants have good heat-insulating properties if they are placed on the roof and walls of houses. This thick coating can reduce heat absorption by 70% and heat loss by 30%. In regions with temperate climate ivy has been used for this purpose for centuries. In hot and arid climates, climbing plants with leaves that fall off in the winter, such as grapes, wisteria, etc., can be placed on the sunny side of the house or garden to create shade. Vegetation cover is planted under the trees. Depending on the climate, lupine or dense plantings of marigolds can act as such a covering. If such a covering is made of climbing species, then it needs to be trimmed from time to time. Local legumes are best in this case, as they increase the nitrogen content of the soil.
The soil does not have a significant effect on the microclimate due to the fact that it conducts a small amount of heat and reflects a small amount of light, and also due to its different water and air content.
Every child needs to spend a lot of time outside. Of course, in the cold season, whenever possible, the mother takes the child out for a walk, but for the warmer months, going to the dacha is optimal. Often families organize their vacation in such a way that dad stays in the city and goes to work, while mom and the children spend the whole summer at the dacha, meeting the head of the family on weekends. However, for such an arrangement to become possible, the dacha must be carefully prepared - tidied up, installed heating system(on cold days it can be very useful), ventilate and bring all the necessary things.
Which heating device choose for a family with a child
Sometimes in old-type country houses there are stoves that allow you to maintain optimal temperature in room. However, not every heating stove is so safe - in some cases it is advisable to dismantle the old equipment and install a new bulleryan type device. The most important thing for families with small children is that the stove does not have open elements(like a fireplace), was equipped with a protective damper. This choice will minimize the risk of burns, but additional precautions will be useful. So, experts advise installing a portable thermal equipment at a height so that the baby cannot even reach it - for example, in a niche or on a table.
Of course, at the dacha you also need a cooking appliance that has hob. It is best if different units are responsible for heating and cooking: for example, a Bulleryan and an electric stove. Since the stove will only turn on occasionally, mom will have the opportunity to keep an eye on the children while it is working.
Ventilation and cooling: are additional devices needed?
Fortunately, country house in summer it does not heat up as much as city apartment. This is due to the fact that it is located on the ground and is cooled by it; green trees and other plantings also contribute. Usually, additional cooling devices are not required, it is better to try to create them yourself: during the day, cover the windows with curtains or a light sheet, install an inflatable pool for children in the yard, where they can splash around to their heart’s content, give the kids plenty of liquids to drink - water, milk, compotes, juices.
Do not forget that cooling equipment can provoke colds even in the summer: it is much better to avoid its use if possible.
