Cool house with Ventilation

KOMPAS.com - Often felt hot at home? Hmm, maybe because air circulation is not good. Try to make adequate ventilation. Guaranteed, so the house cooler.

Adequate ventilation is essential to create a comfortable home. Ir Sukendro S. P, from Nataneka Architects said that the quality of air circulation in the house, so determined by the adequacy of the existing ventilation. If good air circulation, the air inside the house will be healthier and cool.

"Ventilation is not only creating comfort in terms of air quality. Proportionally Lighting can also be obtained by proper placement of ventilation," said Sukendro.

Creating ventilation in the house, it is not difficult. Enough attention to the main principles, namely to make the air easier to move from the outside in, and vice versa. But it must be remembered also the basic principle, that the air flows from the cold, to heat.
Ambient temperature around the house can be modified. The aim is to provoke the wind, that flows into the house. How to modification? Simply by planting leafy plants. Its function is to filter and cool the air, which flows into the house.

The wind flow in through openings such as windows, vents, doors, and holes in the roof and ceiling. In order for the wind can flow freely into the room, place the window with the position facing each other (cross ventilation).

In this position, clear Sukendro, air easily exchanged. Air will enter from one side and out the other side, nor vice versa.

Apart from earlier openings, made also in the air vent on the house. The hole serves to drain the hot air from inside to outside. With the opening and vent, air exchange occurs freely.

Having had adequate ventilation in the house, try to compare. Now with adequate ventilation, the air inside the house must be more cool and comfortable. Good luck! (iDEAonline / Anissa Q. Aini)
