info@intisumberbajasakti.comTropical climates like in Indonesia require us to be careful in choosing building materials, especially if we want our homes to stay cool without having to rely on air conditioning. Choosing the right materials not only makes our homes more comfortable, but also saves energy. Here are some tips for choosing home materials that are suitable for hot weather:
1. Use Wall Materials That Absorb Heat Slowly
Red bricks and lightweight bricks are known to have the ability to absorb and release heat slowly. This means that the temperature inside the house will not immediately increase during the day, and will remain warm at night.
2. Roofs with High Heat Reflection
Use corrugated iron or metal roofs with a special coating that can reflect the sun's heat. Avoid dark or asbestos roofs, because they absorb more heat and make the indoor temperature rise quickly.
3. Ceilings That Do Not Retain Heat
Use gypsum ceilings or PVC ceilings that have good circulation. Add a layer of aluminum foil or glasswool on the top of the ceiling to help keep heat from entering the house.
4. Floors from Cold Materials
Ceramics, granite, or natural stone are flooring options that can provide a cooling effect. Avoid using wooden or vinyl flooring for areas that are often exposed to direct sunlight.
5. Maximum Ventilation and Openings
In addition to materials, don't forget the design. Use frames and windows made of weather-resistant materials and make lots of openings to facilitate air circulation.
