Even though there is no cooling or air conditioning machine, the atmosphere of the house still feels cooler and fresher if it is equipped with windows. Then so that the home ventilation can perform its function more optimally, there are several smart ways that can be applied.
Location and Climate
Perfect ventilation performance is always influenced by the location, climate, time, and condition of the house building. For example, the house is located in a hilly area or a mountain slope. So that the air that flows often comes from above. While the house is located in the coastal area, the wind direction comes from the sea and goes to the land.
Moreover, in certain areas, winds often appear to blow hard. So it needs careful calculations so that the speed can be reduced when entering the room through the ventilation. Plants, fences, or mounds of earth in the yard are the best media for dealing with this problem.
Home Ventilation Models and Designs
Ventilation with a cross design and model is great for bringing fresh air into the room. But besides that, it can also help remove hot air from the house. These openings can be in the form of windows or doors with a size of at least 5% of the total area of the space. If you live in an area where the availability of fresh air is more abundant, this system is suitable to be applied.
In addition, there is a design that is often referred to as wing walls and is more appropriate for homes with conditions that do not allow face-to-face ventilation. This design style requires two walls as a structure and each has a different size.
Window Position
The size of the window also has a big influence on the ventilation system and this also applies to other openings such as doors. Conventional houses usually use casement windows, which are wall-mounted windows.
