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.

Void Creating more Light House, Field, and Healthy

Void is a hole between floors in the terraced house. The role of voids in the house is so important. Its function is not only a residential look roomy, but useful as well as air circulation and good light in the house. Therefore, the void can be a perfect solution for lighting in daylight and air circulation into our homes.

Voids are formed or deliberately created in the interior of buildings with a variety of reasons. Among them, first because he wanted to create a broad impression of a room. Second, wanted to create air pockets or air flow to keep the room comfortable. Third, to create the impression of height in a particular room. Fourth, to give the impression of a distant view or extend the visual range from bottom to top.

The function is usually void (in most small-scale) formed in the area of the stairs. Because usually on the stairs should be free for increased flow of people do not collide. so, its location is usually located on top of or above the staircase landing overall.

However, in general terms used to describe the void with no floor space located on the 2nd floor where through space we can see the space underneath, but still under the same roof.

In designing the void is good and right, there are a few things to note, among others, the size and spacious home. The amount of voids that are made should be adapted to the area existing home. So, if the size of the house is not big, nor should the size of large voids. More than that, consider also the space that will be located under the void so that the laying and setting a fine.

In principle in all the houses can be made void. Whether small or big house. Only, all depend flair homeowners in the process. No matter how small the land, usually at least a small family needs must be met, from the primary spaces until the service area.

Usually the void created or created if it already met the basic needs of the room. Or it could be said remaining space ruanganlah made void.

The second thing to note is that structures and construction, in principle, make the structure similar to the design and construction of another space, which is only a blank floor. However, usually concrete beam around the void of his binder must be strengthened.

Another alternative may be enlarged or enhanced by the quality of concrete or enhanced pembesiannya. Usually the legs are also reinforced foundation.

In addition, note also the use of floor beams and buildings. But avoid the use of hanging beams with overstek that are too large. We recommend that you consult the expert or architect for the structure obtained using the structure and construction of safe, yet efficient in cost and quality of the resulting space to be good.

As for determining the void hole, usually a minimum amount proportional to the module structure column. However, it could also use two or more modules.

To reach the ideal point, arranged for us to look from above and can be looked at from below as well. Usually a person's point of view it 45 degrees. The best position in a void space is the highest share of the most heat. However, it can not be used as a benchmark. Because, in the application, usually all depends on other aspects in the field.

Through the void, air will continue to flow balanced between the air coming out of the house and exchanged with new air. The trick does not need direct from the top of the void. We can create air flow through the open windows of the spaces that intersect with the void.

It is no less important to consider is the safety factor. Because, every opening, the tendency to approach it ourselves or want to see it is definitely there. That is, if we are on top, usually to see the activities below we will try to approach void.Untuk, the presence there as a safety railing is absolutely void on the top floor, especially if there are children who live in our homes.

Railing materials that can be used quite diverse, from glass, metal, concrete walls, to wood. Or for another alternative, maybe we can try to combine various materials.

Selecting any railing should not be a horizontal pattern, especially when we have small children.

Choose color living room

The living room is a public space which is the intermediary spacebetween the activities of the most open in our home that iswelcoming guests and other activities that are more in need of privacy. The living room will reflect the character of the residents,as reflected in the vast space, the selection and arrangement offurniture and that is not not less important is the selection of  wallcolors.  

Psychologically you will feel immediately 'at home' whenvisiting at someone's house when the living room quite spacious,and comfortable furniture arranged neatly  and color of the wallsprovide warmth, reflecting the owner was always open to anyonewho visited her home.

Selection of the wrong paint color or origin to taste can cause theatmosphere is not expected to be created.  Space can be seenmore narrow, crowded, or even gloomy.  For the negative effects of changing the color space that does not happen, do the initialplanning and prepare carefully. Although only slightly, in this casechange the wall paint can be fatal if we are the wrong choice.

For example, white color suitable for a small space, becausewhites have a psychological effect neutral. White color tends togive the impression of clean and wide. Similarly, the other plaincolor paint. In addition to not seem crowded,  the nuance is alsobeautiful. You can combine colors of the younger on one wall. Youcan also give emphasis on space, namely by presenting a strikingcolor.

As for colors more conservative and not a bold color, then choosesome variation of light and dark in the same color. For example,  choosing dark green and light green. The color type is called  monochromatic color.

Note the picture Color Wheel Color Wheel or below, which describes  the arrangement of colors. Colors that lie directly opposite  positions on the Color Wheel to one another is called complementary  colors. If the colors are placed side by side, it will increase the intensity of color or referred to as a bold color.
