Energy Efficient Home Design



At the market sold energy saving lamps claiming. The lights are indeed valuable in the initial purchase of relatively expensive, but if we ever think about the cost of his life? Poor quality lamps must be more frequently damaged and require replacement, and that means spending money, right? So when shopping for electronic equipment, try to choose a really energy efficient.



There are several things to note before installing compact fluorescent lighting to occupancy.

First, we have to see what level of voltage (power watts) that we want to wear at each point. Then, we must also see it for what application? For a reading lamp, room lamp, or light the bedroom? So much power lamp mounted tailored to their utility.

Second, calculate the number of light point you want to use, does one light enough for lighting a room or need two or even three with lights?

Thirdly, we must view the location of the installation of lamps, lamp height dressed to be installed. The higher the location of the installation of lights will certainly reduce the capacity of lighting the lamp.



In addition to choosing energy efficient lighting, ventilation also affect the energy-saving steps you want to go. Because, building material with skin or pelingkup the thermal conductivity resistance value that will most greatly affect the comfort room.

Similarly, shadowing aperture, glass, as well as its implications terrace with occupant thermal comfort of home. We must remember the hot sun affect the temperature in the room through three different ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.

The selection of materials, design shadowing and good ventilation openings will have implications on the comfort and energy, especially when we often use the air conditioner or fan.
