I lived in an all-bills paid apartment for a decade and taped a Mylar camping blanket (like the ones they sell in Walmart in the camping section) to my windows, pulled it tight and taped it well. Could pull the blinds up and see outside very well during the daytime. I did it because I needed to sleep part of the morning because I worked the 2nd shift. I noticed immediately (this was in the summer) that my bedroom felt cooler and then the entire apartment felt cooler too. Apparently some people thought it was aluminum foil. My daughter watched as a girl went down through the parking lot trying to open the doors of vehicles trying to get inside to pilfer what was in the cars. The apartment was close to our car and the girl didn’t realize my daughter was standing at the window watching her.
