Intervene on the attic
Where foreseen, experts would suggest installing insulation both on the floor and ceiling of the attic. This advice is due to the fact that the attic tends to heat up a lot in summer and absorb more heat from below in winter.

Shielding windows
In addition to being perfectly waterproofed, windows should also be shielded in winter, with curtains or roller shutters, to prevent heat from dispersing. When you open them in the morning to change the air in the house, it only takes a few minutes.
