No matter how warm it's outside, my flat is always kinda cold. Help?

I live in a old concrete building in Czech Republic and no matter how damn warm it is outside (summers can be up to 40'c) it's ALWAYS kinda chilly inside, which often makes me feel kinda sick. I feel a bit like an ass as I know a lot of people would like this a lot, and I do at times as well, but I would like to have a way to sort it out without having to run the radiators even at summer. I love the flat otherwise and its very VERY cheap rent and I can't afford to move. Is getting a cross draft my best way to solve this? To force the warm air into the flat? I have tried earlier but maybe I didn't do it in the smartest of ways and it could be improved. Any tips welcome. Any other tips welcome as well. My windowsill gets plenty of sun so I've even been entertaining the idea of getting some mirrors or reflective things to trick the sun inside but am kinda worried about the risk of it lighting things on fire as the sun get pretty intense. submitted by /u/anktombomb [link] [comments]
