In Indonesia, home should be built with the concept of the importance of tropical air circulation.

The concept of a tropical house, is basically an adaptation of buildings to the tropical climate, where tropical conditions require special handling in its design. The effect primarily from the conditions of high temperature and high humidity, where its influence is on the level of comfort in the room. Comfort level as the level of cool air in the house, the air flow, is one example of a tropical house concept application

.

Although the concept of the tropical house is always connected with causation and adaptation of form (typology), building on the climate, there are many interpretations of this concept in a growing trend in society; as the use of certain materials as a representation of the wealth of tropical nature, such as wood, rock exposure, and material Another original exposed.


Cool Air In Home Ventilation Proportional

Have you ever felt at home despite swelter that is wide enough? Could be, it's because the wrong house design from the beginning. Supposedly, the house in Indonesia was built with the concept of the importance of tropical air circulation. Many people do not like houses facing west. Rays of the sun before sinking it to grip them inside the house. But that's not how. After all, just a few hours exposed to hot afternoon.

In Indonesia, north-facing house would shelter the most 'unlucky'. Imagine, a house was stung by the sun all day. The house from morning till evening sunlight should disiasati for not too hot. How do the trick?

For circulation / exchange air, there are several types of penghawaan that can be used. First, artificial penghawaan (air conditioner). Second, natural penghawaan, and the third is a mixture penghawaan.

Good air circulation is key to getting a house that is not stuffy and hot. That is, the house must have an existing field hole. The direction of the openings should be crossed to the room.

In the past, people often provide ventilation under which is about 20 cm from the floor. Later, this method is becoming obsolete. Though in principle, under the ventilation is effective. Hot air pushed upward until the householder is not too hot.

The departure from the vents below, based on specific grounds. The houses in Indonesia is less suitable ventilated bottom, because in general often found mice around residential areas. If placed under ventilation even become the entrance of rats. Repot it would ... Smiley

Still concerning ventilation, wide aperture field also affects whether or not heat the room. Area and volume of the room should be considered when will create windows and lattice-kisinya.

Opening a large field, such as in the homes of Dutch heritage, making the air in the room becomes too hot. At least, weather was almost the same as the air outside. Large windows but a small vent hole it would be useless,

Ketidakcermatan in the provision of automatic opening will also affect the humidity chamber. At the warehouse, for example. Warehouse space is often created a closed meeting to make furniture, furnishings, or anything stored on it easy to mold. The lack of air holes to make the air becomes more moist and easy to grow mushrooms.


Ventilator

In addition, the presence of ventilators on the roof also required to reduce the heat chamber. Ventilator works to facilitate air circulation under the roof. This tool is placed above the ceiling, under the roof. Air conditioner can actually be installed to remove heat. But it's not perfect solutions. Ventilator is needed in air-conditioned room. If not, the air conditioner will work harder, because the air trapped above the ceiling of the room very hot.

Most people assume that with the use of artificial penghawaan or AC, is enough to get healthy air everyday. In fact, air conditioners, especially for areas of apartments and offices, just to make the air becomes cool. We still need the exchange of air in the room for the existing air to stay healthy and do not make your skin dry.

Therefore, placement of plants in the room can also help refresh the air in the room. The oxygen produced from photosynthesis in plants guaranteed to make the room feel much cooler in the daytime. Obviously, the selected plants must necessarily harmonious with the room. Even so, the placement of plants in space is also not a solution. Plants also can not be too much on display in the house. If too much, he can not grow well.

Ornamental plants are also not recommended to be placed in the room is dark and damp. To be able to thrive, plants require exposure to sunlight and air. So, make sure your home has a translucent window and allow air to circulate.



Houses for a Healthy Has Good Air Circulation.

There are several things you can do to get it, either natural, artificial, or a combination of both. How to manage it?

For circulation / exchange air, there are several types of penghawaan that can be used. First, artificial penghawaan (air conditioner) as described above. Second, natural penghawaan, and the third is a mixture penghawaan.

To penghawaan natural air ventilation system which usually takes the form of air holes or vent. However, it is sometimes still perceived less as just rely on wind power alone. So when the wind power is insufficient, there is no air circulation so that the air exchange to be not optimal.

Anticipating this problem, usually performed penghawaan the third type, namely penghawaan mixture or combination of both. Penghawaan type is usually just use the AC for some specific spaces, such as a bedroom.

While other rooms used wide window openings. As the family room and living room. As for service spaces, use the help or additional exhaust fans, such as kitchen, warehouse, and a bathroom. Installation of exhaust fan speed up its limited air circulation. To escape the heat and pengapnya space, the principle is to consider the exit-entry of air. So, without ventilation exhaust fan is not much help.

In addition, there are some things that need to be considered in making the system of air exchange (ventilation) is good. Namely the use of the basic principles of type penghawaan.

First, create air circulation to keep flowing in every room. For that, the air must be able to enter and exit. Do not get trapped in a room with no way out because it will make the room becomes damp or musty.

Second, the air circulation in both directions, ie with cross ventilation / cross. Ventilation air flows horizontally in one room, through two walls facing each other. Usually the air flow through the windows on the wall and then flows through the jalousie jalousie-above the door on the opposite wall in front of him. This is done to maintain the circulation and exchange of air in a room with the help of wind power.

Third, circulation of air horizontally. The main principle is to remove the hot air out of the room or streamed to the top (ceiling). This particular area has no windows or no direct border with the outside air.

Air exchange (ventilation) is obtained by making a hole-hole openings in the ceiling area, under the roof and tiles to be removed as soon as possible. Because the hot air normally rises to the top, so that if not removed will cause the room gets hot. Another alternative is to use a ventilator as described above.

Therefore, a room with a higher ceiling will feel much cooler. Similarly, a house with a steep roof and the distance between the ceiling and the roof is quite large, will feel much cooler in the daytime. So given the way the hot air out and fed through the vent, jalousie, or small gaps under the roof that can draw air from the room.

In society there is still misunderstanding about how to get a room that is not hot. They think, the high ceiling effect. The house is seven meters high but the windows closed will still be hot. Conversely, a house just three feet tall but has a window opening on the two sides will definitely feel much cooler.

Fourth, the air circulation system of the entire house. Here we can make the air circulation flow in a way to make space or open area of the park in front of and behind the house.

That way, the air flows horizontally through the rooms that has made the opening-opening. From the front or the front garden to the rear of the house or back garden, or vice versa. Then will flow vertically through the garden behind the house through the roof open or have the air gap to the top. This vertical airflow can also be done via the staircase or void area that is in the house.

Meanwhile, installation of the pergola outside the room did not really affect the temperature inside the chamber. Pergola will only provide shade under it, no more than that,


The window is good, not only illuminate the space,

But also keep the air flow. That way the space was cool.

Upon hearing word that ventilation must be imagined is a window. Yup, very true. Windows become functional because he's become a good element in maintaining the circulation of air.

Functioning ventilation system running the air exchange due to temperature differences inside and outside. Blowing air will feel cool in the room if the speed is ideal, ie, 0.1-0.15 meters per second. If a lower speed will feel stuffy room. Did the opposite, a blast will be very tight if the wind speed above the 0:15. Penghunipun threatened colds.

The window should be placed facing each other for air to flow perfectly. This is called cross ventilation. Air flow can be reduced if the placement of furniture or partitions are not appropriate. Therefore, consider the composition and placed elements of space.

You can also create openings into the wind window is smaller than the exit openings. Or enter from the window opening at the top, and exit at the bottom of the home.

Finally, making a pool in the garden area, waterfall or waterwall also helps. This is to multiply the occurrence of water vapor in the house during the day so that helps lower the temperature of the room and create coolness in the house. So, congratulations to create.
