Building A House and Its Ventilation
June 28th, 2010 | Author: admin
When people want to build a house, they certainly expect if the house later can be referred to as beautiful, healthy and comfortable house. For the beauty aspect, of course it is relative, because it is usually different for each person when it came to the beauty of the building. But when it comes to the health aspect, usually the standard is the same.
In this case, we would probably agree that a healthy home meets several criteria, including: good air circulation, a room that gets enough natural light from sun, the room layout that facilitates the movement of residents to do their activities, the availability of an open space to plant the plants. The air circulation in the house is usually obtained through the ventilation or vent.
For the outer side of the house is by using the ventilation to circulate the air, while for a room that placed in the middle of the house, we could use the wind catcher, or used to called wind catcher channel or wind tower catcher. To create natural flow of the air, usually the ventilation holes are made into two sections on the wall.
The pressure difference at inside and outside the house will help the air flow from vents on the wall section to the other vents on other wall section. The number of air ventilation in buildings (houses) should be sufficient to support the process of air circulation, circulate the fresh air from outside into the room.
