<human>:  What are the best ways to keep my home cool in the summer?
<bot>: The best ways to keep your home cool in the summer are: using window coverings such as shades or blinds to keep out direct sunlight, using fans to move the air around, running a dehumidifier to reduce humidity levels, and using an air conditioner to provide direct cooling. Other options include opening windows at night to allow cooler air in and shutting them during the day to keep the cooler air in, and using a whole house fan to exhaust hot air from the attic.
