Good interior design took place in the form of its force. Climate and weather is the strongest in the form of two decision-makers (in the tropics there is no dome) Since the housing must be designed and constructed repulsed the world we live in devastating effects of nature has always been our efforts to tear the following premises. Climate and weather also affect the comfort of our homes, so that we can on how to maintain a tolerable level of temperature and humidity take a look at our home. The design work is dedicated to maintaining the heat or keep warm, weather and season may be. This Old House Period in American history, how can our home – in degrees – we are in the production of the climate in our homes wisdom “and more comfortable.
In the southern United States to settle around the home, low-hanging sun’s shadow, efforts to create a pool of cold air, may apply to the house, deep porch. New England small residential building with small windows, to prevent the winter winds, to keep as much heat. And grasslands to their homes, often built sod piled up, half buried in the ground to meet the temperature changes, to prevent the high levels of violent storms swept the plains every summer. This simple but effective strategy is necessary, because it is a limited home-heating fuel. We created the house, in order to conserve resources, we do not know how to do. This changes the cheap and abundant electricity and natural gas heating times, and in 1928 launched the first air-conditioned.
Suddenly, the house is not necessary to respond to their environment, any family can easily maintain the necessary heat or cold by mechanical means, regardless of outside weather. Little attention to energy-saving strategies, the 20th century, 70′s, when the cheap energy, we have taken for granted suddenly become very expensive, his ignorance into a building for several decades of climate expensive heating and cooling. That 70′s Show However, a very cool thing happened. Architects and builders across the country began to recover the “lost art and design homes to respond to weather and climate.” The old ideas, such as land, housing and thermal mass are used again. The new passive cooling strategies and unique ideas, such as Trombe walls, invention. The most interesting houses using low-energy technology, a new and exciting ways. Suddenly what other next to the old world design inspiration.
This is an interesting time and experimentation to fully invention. But at that time is short. In the mid-80s, fuel is cheaper, more energy-efficient unique home design was forgotten. Back to the Future Therefore, no now we are back to the starting point is no wonder that energy prices and energy efficiency, in the revised interest. This is an era of major issues, studies have shown that, when the largest number of residential buildings consume 21% of the country’s energy. Family energy saving different strategy, they are today than 30 years ago, but the. Today’s emphasis on technical rather than design. New material technology has been developed to make otherwise climate-insensitive home designs (there are many), in order to maintain the energy required to better management of human welfare.
Technical solutions can be expensive, but because of the needs of ordinary building materials at a higher level on. The window of “high technology” low-E glass, argon gas filled space, up to three years of the glass. Heating system is running at a higher efficiency, with programmable thermostats and insulation plumbing fixtures. Such a solution does not save energy, an important part of any family, but the technology should not be over-reliance on a cane. We also need a better design. Designer Challenges If, rather than in high-tech glass can block the sun’s heat more spending hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars, the windows more carefully, avoiding direct sunlight the first? If we use the house itself, elements of thermal radiation and ultraviolet light shade of a tree in the window?
Suppose you have a better relative stability of the temperature field in the use of in order to stabilize the temperature of our living environment, rather than exposing every square foot of a family of external factors? But keep clear of mechanical air-conditioning temperature and humidity, why not try to open Windows porch in the shade and let the breeze cool the house? If we take an open mind a bit – stopped thinking so much of fashion and resale value – so that the shape of housing being built for them how to deal with climate and the environment we live in a multi? Surprising result may be interesting and low-cost heating and cooling, just like old times – an ideal home.
