Beat the heat this Summer in your Residential Flats

Summer is coming and the temperature is rising along with it guess what else is rising these days? Your electricity bills! Global warming and the A.C.s that are switched on through days and nights only make it worse, which has become one of the primary causes of these extreme conditions. You might choose to pack your bags and go out to the hill to spend your entire summer in the mountain bliss. But sadly, it’s going to help neither the heat nor your pockets. Alternatively, you can look at some of these effective yet inexpensive ways to keep your residential flats cooler this summer. You can try old-school tricks to beat the heat this summer.

Use Khus
Do you remember the desert coolers you used to use in your summer vacation? No, you don’t have to go and rebuy those. Khus which is used to make the sides of the coolers naturally tends to offer coolness when wet. You can use Khus and prepare makeshift curtains for windows and doorways of your residential flat. Yes, it might be a bit of an effort to keep them wet, but it’s a brilliant way to stop the heat from entering your residential flat and it is absolutely worth it.

Dehumidify your flat
With the invention of science and technology, it has become an irreplaceable part of our lives, in summers, you will find dehumidifiers all around you. They require to be plugged in with a source of electricity and they absorb humidity and make the air fresher. We have a better idea. Instead of using dehumidifiers, you can use some indoor plants that naturally dehumidifies your flat. For example, Reed Palm, Peace Lily, or even Boston Fern will not only absorb most of the humidity stuck inside your residential flat, at the same time provide you with more oxygen.

Treat the Roof
One of the primary reasons for your residential flat to heat up is because the roof imbibes a lot of heat from the sun and warms all your rooms. However, there is a remedy to counter this. Open all the water outlets on your roof and fill it up with water. And let the sun evaporate all the water on the roof, by doing so you can have some relaxing and cool hours and mitigate the intense heat. You can paint your rooftops with soda lime or Chuna to counter the heat. The white colour will absorb less heat compared to any other colour and keep the heat at bay.

Soak the Curtains
The idea behind soaked curtains is to cool down the breeze before it enters your residential flat so that the heat it brings along with it, does not get absorbed by the walls in the house. Firstly, use cotton or mulmul drapes instead of the heavy curtains to cover your doors and windows. With a bucket full of water, soak only the ends of the cotton curtain. The breeze turns much cooler when the water seeps through the hems of the curtain.

Turn Off
The most important of it all is to do away with the use of electronics or reduce as much as you possibly can. These appliances radiate heat that gets and transmitted which harms us silently. The motor gets heated even when you open and shut the refrigerator too many times which increases the load. Let’s keep most of the switches turned off as I keep my 2 BHK flat In Gurgaon darker.
No one can ignore the effects of global warming. Hence, we must do our bit and go natural. Here’s hoping our tricks cool you this summer!
Stay Cool. Stay Healthy!

Gurgaon - A Glimpse into the Great Future

Gurgaon is a fast-growing city which is just the southwest of New Delhi located in Haryana. It has become a leading industrial hub with rapid urbanization. The progress in its every sector has triggered new opportunities which complement the surge of advancement in real estate. Skyscrapers reign the skyline, high end shopping complexes for new generation, restaurants of all types and a rapid new metro system fascinates the investors to its further developments in upcoming affordable housing projects.

 With its shiny buildings and rising economy, Gurgaon is often portrayed as a symbol of a rising "new" India. Now, it boasts over a million inhabitants, office complexes housing companies from Accenture to Xerox. The futuristic city has local offices for more than 250 Fortune 500 companies but historically called “GURUGRAM” whose economic growth began when the leading Indian automobile manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India Limited established a manufacturing plant in 1970s. That’s how the city developed its dominance as a corporate hub for various companies.

 With no doubt, Delhi's Indira Gandhi International which is just across the border of Gurgaon, adds to its popularity. The yellow Line of the Delhi Metro serves to the northeastern part of Gurgaon which runs from NH-8’s IFFCO Chowk to Connaught Place.  Gurgaon also has a small railway station on the Delhi-Jaipur line, but it only receives almost five trains a day.

 It is an ideal place to spend the weekend with family and friends for numerous leisure activities like Go Karting, Bowling, Pool etc. along with a classy bar, a casual café, etc. It is abounded with malls such as MGF Mega City, DLF Grand Mall, Ambience Mall and frequently many special events and promotions take place.

 Due to sustained occupier’s interest, there has been a robust demand in office market and also witnessing the growth in residential segments. It provides affordable homes in Gurgaon with improved infrastructure and expansion of civic amenities around NH8, Golf Course Road and Dwarka Expressway. It leads to get significant investments which have an impetus to its growth. The emerging areas of Gurgaon offer many excellent opportunities for residential flats along with commercial buildings.

 Today, Gurgaon has expanded more than 70 percent during the past decade to more than 1.5 million people as it is one of the India’s fastest growing districts. The connectivity is great especially in Golf course road and National Highway-8 location.

 The rapid infrastructure development has given a doorway in the market for expansion in affordable housing projects in Gurgaon and intrigues new investors to make establishments. The long-term demand for affordable homes in Gurgoan along with burgeoning office market continues to be strong in near future. Most of the demand and supply for residential property has been shrunk in the mid-end to high-end segments. It is indicative of a revival in the affordable homes in Gurgaon.

 The economic growth is often the product of a private sector improvising to meet the modern adequacies of the city. At times of electricity blackouts, Gurgaon's companies and real estate developers operate massive diesel generators which are capable of powering small towns. Companies employ hundreds of private buses and taxis for easy conveyance to their employees. Gurgaon is a patchwork of private islands more than an interconnected city.

 With rising global influence, people expect to dwell in such an ever-growing landscape with all amenities. Real estate values have risen sharply in the city that the demand for affordable homes in Gurgaon steadily increased, followed by demand for commercial space as multinational corporations began arriving to take advantage of India's emerging outsourcing industry. Outsourcing requires massive workspace for thousands of white-collar employees.

 Companies still tend to move towards Gurgaon because the city's commercial space is more modern, more abundant and far cheaper than that in New Delhi, while Gurgaon is also a center of attraction for India's best-educated, English-speaking young professionals, the essential raw material in the outsourcing business. And there is the advantage of a concentration of expertise: in the past decade, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Motorola, Ericsson, Nestle India and other foreign and Indian companies have opened offices in Gurgaon.

 Other cities want to match with Gurgaon's growth and dynamism. Gurgaon is already building an industrial district and planning to create more commercial space for the influx of more new companies and builders. It has become a pacesetter for present generation to shape up their future.
