One simple and cost-effective method is the use of curtains. This article will explore how curtains can reduce heat and provide a more comfortable living space.
How Curtains Reduce Heat
Blocking Sunlight: Curtains act as a barrier to the sun's rays, preventing them from heating up your room. By closing the curtains during the hottest part of the day, you can reduce the temperature inside.
Material Matters: The type of fabric plays a crucial role in how effective the curtains are at blocking heat. Thick, dense materials like velvet or blackout fabrics can block more heat compared to sheer or lightweight fabrics.
Colour Choices: Darker colours tend to absorb more heat, whereas lighter colours reflect it. While dark curtains may block more sunlight, they might also trap more heat. On the other hand, lighter curtains can keep a room cooler by reflecting heat away.
Insulating Properties: Some curtains have a special lining that adds an extra layer of insulation, keeping the heat outside and the cool air inside. These can be particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable temperature.
Benefits of Using Curtains to Reduce Heat
Energy Savings: By reducing the need for air conditioning......

Some will also know of local community aspirations to see the area retained as Reserve land, with the vision of it being part of a larger potential community orchard in Waterloo Park.
A recent PNCC mailout in the Hokowhitu area seeks public feedback on a revised Draft Plan Change E. Although a side-note indicates otherwise, some of the information on that mailout, and on the PNCC website it references (pncc.govt.nz/roxburgh), appears to imply that the loss of the Waterloo Park Reserve area has already been sanctioned.
In fact, the land exchange proposal decision has not yet been made. Following the public consultation in April/May, and the submissions hearing in early August, Councillors will be debating and voting on the issue this week, as the first step in the final decision process.
This is scheduled as Item 9 on the Agenda for the Strategy & Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday (15th November, estimated start time approx. 10.30 a.m.). Interested members of the public are encouraged to come to the Council Chamber to observe the proceedings.
