You need polarized coverings. You need to filter out the "bad". Now don't get them mixed up and mistakenly inverted/reversed

Good question for Art Bell...

I'd give him a call on his personal cell phone, but he told me he's on a time-travel experiment to 3249 A.D.

Add a layer of newspaper, and another of foil, and you've made yourself an orgone box.

Nuts... I live 5 miles away from a nuke plant. I can't use one :(. That's okay, I'm getting enough "energy" from the plant... I don't need any more.

Just remember - Shiny side out...
 
I like hearing about people with full size black crew cabs in Phoenix complaining about how bad their AC is.

White walls will help a tiny bit on reflecting radiant heat from inside the house, less than with foil, but won't help much with heat transfer from the outside. That's why insulation is needed, although foil and air layers can be effective, one layer that gets dirty much less so. As I recall 'space suits' are something like almost 20 layers of air/foil layers.

During a winter camp years back a friend an I experimented with using foil. We built a crude semi-circular foil fence around the camp fire, and had to move back from the fire and let it die down a bit. It was very effective.

For cold weather try reindeer skins :^) I recall a documentary where a gentleman traveled thru Siberia in the winter and stayed with some of the nomadic locals. They used reindeer skin yurt like tents, and then made the guest a small cubical reindeer skin tent within the larger one. They had footage of hime describing how comfortable it was even though he was just in light clothing for sleeping, and it was something like 50 below outside.
 
There was a paint invented that had powdered mica with some kind of coating that made it float on the surface, that was supposed to lower the e value of the painted surface. I'm not sure if it ever caught on. "radiance" paint

The Inuit's parkas are made from two skins layered fur to fur, and let you work in temperatures that even put mobil 1 to shame.
 
The old foxfire books reckoned that rabbit fur backed with fox (rabbit side to the wearer) was as good as could be made.
