Building a House a Healthy And Environmentally Friendly


When going to build the house, everyone would expect if the house is built it will be called a house meeting and a beautiful, healthy and comfortable. For the beauty aspect of course is relative, because the view is usually not the same when it comes to beauty of the building. But when it comes to the health aspect, usually the default is uniform. In this case, we probably would agree if it's a healthy home meet several criteria, including: air circulation is good, the room is getting enough natural light from the sun, the room layout that facilitates the movement of residents to activities, the availability of open land to plant crops, and so on.

On this occasion I will discuss about building a healthy home with an overview on the circulation of air and natural lighting in the rooms inside the house.



Air Circulation

Air circulation systems in residential buildings are usually obtained through a vent or vent. For the outermost region of the room buildings use ventilation for air flow, while for the middle position of building a room that could use a wind catcher channel, or so-called channel or tower wind catchers wind catcher. To make the air can flow naturally vents are usually made in two areas of the wall. The pressure difference inside and outside the building will help the air flow from vents in a single field wall to wall vetilasi in other areas. The amount of ventilation air in buildings (houses) should be sufficient to support the process of circulation of air, fresh air flows from outside into the room.

Form of ventilation is commonly used conventional windows with shutters of glass or wood panels that can be opened wide in the daytime. Then there is also a window bouvenlicht, namely glass windows with 2 blades that have a gap between them that allows the exchange of air. Bouvenlicht usually installed in bathrooms or toilets. There is also a type of window glass Nako with glass blades which can open the lid. Moreover, it also can be shaped ventilation holes with a lattice arrangement of horizontal winds on the walls of the building. Methods for making ventilation holes also vary by making a hole walls, wood frame with horizontal lattice direction, or use the rooster of the concrete material, metal, aluminum or wood.
The best systems are used to design ventilation systems (penghawaan) is a system of natural cross-ventilation (cross ventilation), the cross-ventilation air circulation system arranged in such a way that can flow from one point of the air vents toward the point of the other air vents, and so on the contrary. With the pressure difference inside and outside the building, then the air flow will not be 'trapped' in the house, which led to the house feels stuffy and hot. Another way that can also be done by creating a garden with voids in the house, garden and voids inside the house will help the air circulation in the middle of the room in the house which is quite far from areas of the wall.
If the use of ventilation air felt still less, then it can be done in ways that alternative methods by adding exhauster active ventilation (exhaust fan or blower section wall roof section) which is active with the help of electrical energy will suck and drain the air out of the room, to forced to swap with fresher air from outside through the ventilation holes.
If your house is in urban areas and conditions in your home is really not possible to use the natural (invoice pollution, density or high density level buildings), you can use artificial penghawaan system such as Air Conditioner (AC). Sure must direncankan clearly how the capacity and number of Air Conditioner that will be used. Here's how you can use to calculate the air-conditioning needs in a room:
Suppose the size of the room 3m x 4m.
Area of ​​room = Length of room x width of roomArea of ​​room = 4m x 3m = 12 m²
Coefficient BTU (British Thermal Unit) »500 BTU for 1 m² area of ​​the room
Capacity AC = x Coefficient BTU Room SizeCapacity AC = 12 m² x 500 BTUAC = 6000 BTU capacity
AC standard available capacity market, including:
- AC PK ½ capacity equivalent to 5000 BTU- AC PK ¾ capacity equivalent to 7000 BTU- Air-conditioning capacity of 1.0 OD equivalent to 9000 BTU
So the room with an area of ​​12 m² requires BTU air conditioner with a capacity of 6000 »Use AC ¾ PK
Because the area (L) = 12 m² and air conditioning capacity of 6000 BTU required, should we buy AC ¾ PK. No need to use the AC a PK because the power dissipation will occur, do not also install air conditioning ½ PK, because the performance is less air conditioning to cool the room enough.


Exposure

As with air circulation (penghawaan), lighting of the room should be rooted in natural light. So in addition to healthy can also save energy. No need to turn on the lights in the daytime. However we are fortunate to live in an area rich in sunshine throughout the year. Aside from being a source of vitamin D, sunlight can also serve to kill some types of fungi and bacteria is negative. Natural light (which comes from the sun) which came into the room can be cleaned at once warm the room to avoid moisture.

Therefore in every room should be made of glass windows relating to outer space. In determining the magnitude and location of windows, must be considered toward the sun. Direct sunlight from the west will make the room very hot. Use the canopy / overstek window to shade windows from direct sunlight and keep the ventilation window of splashed when the rainy season.

Window glass is one element of a building that functions as a place of entry of sunlight into the house. It also can be used void in the room that does not allow for a window fitted, for example because it is limited by the walls of your neighbor's house. Another way is to use a skylight or glass roof or the use of materials carpot Polycarbonate on the roof of your home. The use of bulkhead walls made ​​of glass or glass block can also be categorized as a component of the lighting, as well as one of the architectural ornaments are widely applied in the design of modern houses today.


Non-Based Planning and Direction Setting Sun

We all know that the sun moves from east to west for 12 hours every day. Abundant light that can bring many benefits to humans, including at home. But if not handled and used properly, the sun will only lead to discomfort due to potentially increase the temperature inside the room. For that there are several ways that can be used to determine the spatial positions and openings under the direction of the sun.

a. bedroom

In order for the morning sun can get into this space, put the bedroom in the southeast to the northeast. The incoming beam makes you not feel like getting out early. In addition, this side does not accept hot afternoon so comfortable when used for the rest.

b. Family Room, Living Room and Dining Room

Space should be located along side the northwest or southwest. In this position, the space will have natural light and warm. But to reduce the heat on the west side, the need for special processing such as heat absorber material consumption or use of the lattice wind.

 

c. bathroom

Usually the bathroom is an area that the moisture level is high, then the area is best if it gets direct sunlight. Put bathroom on the west side or east.

d. kitchen

Kitchen with cooking equipment has the potential to become high-temperature space, then the best option is on the north or south.

e. Space Support / Service

This space is a priority second only to the main rooms have been placed first. The west side of the less comfortable for humans, because it is too hot-the ideal place for the laundry room and drying, to avoid moisture and quickly dry laundry.
