Don't know if this is something that would be useful to share as we're heading back into some warm weather again in the North East. I have an old house 1930's buid so not great insulation. Thinking about passive sollitions that I could afford I got some silver backed .5" foam board at the hardware store. The sheets are 48"x96", and half inch thick are around $20/per. You can cut it across to a width that sits on the window sill. My windoes are around 29" wide so I think I got about 3 - 30"x48" pannels. I dressed the edges in duct tape and when I put them in I can keep the house 15-20deg cooler.

Good thinking. For my part, I've made some cooling mats using some instructions I found on youtube, and they work pretty well.
