Hi Robert, Thank you. I'd like to speak with someone by early next week. And I noted some of my questions below; it's general advice for anyone who is looking for ways to keep their home cool and is worried about high utility bills (which is probably a lot of us during this heat wave!). For instance, how effective are light-blocking curtains or thermal shades? Are there steps people can take who live in a rented home with only a window unit air conditioner to help cool their space? For anyone in an older home, what are some things they can do to improve efficiency and cooling? More questions will arise from conversation but I hope to speak with someone who has some ideas in mind that I may not have thought of. Many thanks for your assistance!

Thanks very much for reaching out. Do you have a deadline? Also, can you send more specific questions, so we know7exactly who to direct your inquiry to? Thanks in advance, R. Dana McMahan Hi there, I'm a freelance c o n trib u to r to NBCNews.com w orking on a piece fo r th e ir BETTER vertical w ith the w orking title Keep Cool and Carry On. I'm looking fo r an expert to help advise consumers how to keep th e ir home as cool as possible w ith o u t a sky-h ig h u tility bill. This could be fo r folks w ith older/less efficien t AC, or someone renting a place w ith a less than ideal situation like a w indow unit that can't keep up, or people like me w ith an upper flo o r in an old house that can't get cool no m atter how much insulation we cram in the attic. What really works? Did grandm a know best w ith drawing the shades? Do lig h t blocking curtains help? Is it true that a fan actually warms a room up by the electric it generates? And so on. Could you help connect me w ith an expert who would be interested and available to speak w ith me for the story ? Thanks so much, I look forw ard to hearing from you. Sierra Club v.
