  • Close the blinds and curtains to keep in some of the heat that is already in the building.
  • Close the doors of rooms no one currently occupies to avoid wasting heat.
  • Stuff towels or rags in the cracks under doors to keep as much heat inside the room
  • Wear layers of warm loose-fitting, lightweight clothing.
  • Make sure to keep ingesting food and drink. Food provides energy to warm the body. Be sure to avoid caffeine and alcohol.
