Course overview
Cooooling down the house!
Our homes weren't built for this.
Most were designed when energy was cheap and weather was predictable. Now? The rules have changed.
But here's the thing: You don't need fancy tech or expensive solutions to create a climate-resilient home.
You need wisdom. Ancient wisdom, actually.
Join me to discover:
• How to read your home's climate potential
• Time-tested tricks for keeping cool in summer and warm in winter
• Smart, low-tech solutions that slash energy bills
• Design secrets that work with nature, not against it
Stop fighting your environment. Learn to listen to it instead.
