Protect Outdoor Electrical Systems from Harsh Weather
Learn how to safeguard outdoor electrical systems from harsh weather. Tips for weatherproofing and ensuring lasting protection.
This room has several passive and low-energy cooling features including a ceiling fan, fully operable French doors, window shading, an outdoor water feature, and light-colored hard-scaping (Source: U.S. DOE 2022).
Passive cooling techniques can reduce or eliminate the use of air conditioning and can be used for backup cooling during emergencies. Implement passive and low-energy cooling techniques to reduce or eliminate the use of air-conditioning and to mitigate overheating during power outages.
Put plainly, passive and low-energy cooling approaches are rarely as effective, versatile, and controllable as mechanical air-conditioning. The expectation that a person can simply set a thermostat to a comfortable temperature and expect a passive system to maintain that temperature during all types of weather is almost always unrealistic.
Outdoor power strips come in a variety of sizes, from small three-outlet models up to large 10-outlet beasts. Unlike indoor models, these rugged, weather-resistant power strips can endure extreme temperatures and even downpours. Understanding what weather conditions an outdoor power strip is rated to handle is key to purchasing the right one.
