5. Keep drapes on south and west sides closed. If you have
south/west windows with sheer or no drapes, get opaque drapes.

Room darkening window shades, esp. for rooms with little use, are an
effective and very cheap alternative.


As is window film, trees, and awnings.

It's probably cheaper to light the room with a couple of CFLs than sunlight
when you factor in the A/C costs.
