More humid tonight, so AC on is the better option. Savings are under $2 and 5 kg of GHG, so the savings are not as dramatic as some nights. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

We opened up last night. Humidity won't be that high tonight, so windows open is also a good strategy tonight, surprisingly! www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Haven't posted lately. Been closed up cause of smoke. Strategy tonight is open windows and smoke is diminishing, so we'll open up. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Windows closed is the better strategy tonight. Savings of about $3 and 8 kg of GHG compared to open windows. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Finally we can open up tonight, because we're not planning to use AC tomorrow. It's been a long week. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Sadly, better strategy tonight is stay closed. Looks like we're in for several days of same. Savings tonight nearly $4 and 13 kg GHG compared to opening. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social

We didn't use AC today (though at times I wished we had). We will tomorrow, so we'll close up in the morning when it warms up. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Most forecasts say it won't be hot enough for AC tomorrow. We're not opening up yet: still too sticky outside. We'll see what it's like in the morning. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social

Windows are wide open to pre-cool. We will be closing up and turning on the AC when the house starts to warm up. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Strategies are close tonight. If we're up early to close up 7ish, we're ahead by opening up. Later than that we should stay closed. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup

Opened the windows wide this a.m. to pre-cool. Now closed up and "coasting". Eventually the house will warm up and AC will come on. www.urbship.ca/windowsopeno... #coolottawa #windowsopenorclosed #OttawaWindowsOpenorClosed @blacksweather.bsky.social l @hydroottawa.bsky.social @posteritygroup
