For example, placing the plant in roof top, fence walls, potted plants, as well as areas of small angle that can be used to put the plants. Apply green roof can reduce the temperature in the space below, so that the air feels colder room.

Power Savings
Nine percent increase in CO2 emissions due to consumption of electrical energy. Greatest burden on residential air-conditioning usage comes from. Not to mention the use of home electronic equipment ladder using the same energy. Although it looks classic, energy savings can we start with the house. Begin to reduce the excessive use of air conditioning with that is not regulate the temperature so cold and reduce the use of electronic home stairs.
