The project was designed by Trinhvieta-Architects in a densely populated urban area in Ho Chi Minh City with the desire to create as much space as possible, providing an interesting living atmosphere. The architect’s idea was to rearrange the allowable space by taking two internal spaces from the main block, dividing them into several smaller blocks and attaching them back to make a balcony. In this way, they created an empty space that allows wind and natural light to flow to every nook and cranny of the house while keeping the required space. The house is 5 floors high and consists of 7 rooms, including 2 atrium rooms with private courtyards. These 7 rooms embrace 2 spaces inside with some balconies facing the outside. The interior void provides a private courtyard, laundry balcony and ventilation shaft while the exterior balcony with double-layer tile creates a “dual leather” facade that protects the home from tropical weather. The “dual leather” facade is combined with two layers, featuring glazed openings, hollow bricks in the balcony and greenery. This facade creates a sunshade, reduces heat radiation and provides a relaxing atmosphere. The design team tried to capture the feeling of a tropical home by creating some form of shading from tiled roofs, hollow brick walls or greenery… to reduce solar radiation and provide no air. Comfortable relaxing space where natural wind blows in. The location of the balcony and the studied trees is random and improvised, which makes the house a bit in harmony with the surrounding context. Through this project, the architect wishes to propose a solution for a life in a high-density tropical urban area, meeting the needs of space while still providing an interesting living environment “close to nature”. of course”. pear spring (According to the ArchDaily )

1. Close the window blinds The first rule in keeping the house or apartment cool is to draw the window blinds, especially the west and northwest windows because 30% of unwanted heat comes from these locations. At the same time, when choosing curtains, you should choose those with neutral colors to avoid heat radiation. 2. Air conditioner increases by 1 degree Celsius, reduces power consumption by 10% If you live in an apartment or apartment that requires the use of air conditioning, keep the temperature at around 24-27 degrees Celsius or higher if you still feel comfortable. Remember, just 1 degree Celsius increase can reduce about 10% of the electricity of the air conditioner. 3. Adjusting the ceiling fan In the summer, you sometimes feel like a ceiling fan is only pushing hot air around the house rather than cooling it and this is exactly how it feels. Therefore, install the ceiling fan so that it rotates counterclockwise to push the air straight down, creating a cooling effect on the body, and remember to set it to run clockwise in winter to pull air. cool air. 4. Close the door and seal the openings Close the doors to rooms you don’t use to keep cool air where you need it most. Seal openings around doors and windows, and use draft-stops to ensure cool air can’t escape. 5. Open windows at night when it’s cool Closing your windows and staying indoors can be a great idea during the day, but as it gets cooler in the evening, you may want to open the door to naturally cool your home – but remember to lock the door when you leave. sleep. 6. Cool down the body Cooling your house or apartment doesn’t mean you don’t need to cool your body by using body-cooling drinks, putting a cool towel on your neck or some other acupuncture points to avoid heat shock. 7. Create air conditioner from fan No air conditioning? Do not worry! A cleverly placed bowl of ice is all you need to turn a fan into a cold mist. Place a basin of water or ice tray in front of the fan for a cool breeze. 8. Choose cool clothes Wear loose, light clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton and change your bed sheets to cotton for more comfort. 9. Turn on ventilation fans in the kitchen and bathroom This is essential because it helps to get rid of hot air from cooking or after you shower all over the house. 10. Change the light bulb If you’re having trouble cooling your home and can’t figure out why, incandescent bulbs could be the cause. These bulbs were phased out in Australia many years ago, but in Vietnam many families are still using them. This type of bulb generates a lot of heat, so switching to energy-efficient bulbs can help cool your home and save you tons of energy costs. 11. Put a basin of water in the room Another trick to lower the room temperature is to put a basin of water in the room because on the high temperature the water evaporates will help reduce the temperature significantly to make the room cooler. 12. Put a lot of plants in the house Not only preventing dust and filtering the air, plants also have a great effect in lowering the temperature of the room. However, do not leave many trees in the bedroom at night because then it produces CO2, which is not good for health. Long-term measure 13. Limit the use of many electrical appliances Not only is it a matter of saving electricity, but also because the heat emitted from electrical appliances and household appliances during operation will add a few degrees of Celsius to your already secretive house. Therefore, families should focus on living in a room with scientific time instead of spreading it as usual. 14. Reduce the heat for the roof For private houses, especially on the street, because there is usually only one facade, blocked on all three sides, the heat of the sun entering the house is mainly from the roof. Therefore, you should add false ceilings with heat-resistant materials such as gypsum plaster, foam insulation bags to keep the house cooler. 15. Natural heat blocking If you live in a private house and have a land fund, use the shade of trees to cover the windows and walls. Plant deciduous trees that shade your home in the summer, but let the sun shine through in the winter. If you can, invest in tinting your windows to keep out more heat radiation.

According to a scientific study, 30% of unwanted heat in the house comes from glass doors. Therefore, the simplest measure to keep the house cool is to always pull the curtains and also choose dark colored curtains to avoid heat radiation from entering the room. If you don’t want to turn on the air conditioner a lot, you can use a simple trick with ice and a fan. Place ice in a bowl and place in front of a fan. The rising cold air will then be blown around the room by the fan to help reduce the heat very well. In the summer, but you still want to lie down, you should choose spring mattresses to help more ventilation. Changing your sheets regularly will also help keep you comfortable in the heat. Dirt and dirt stick for a long time, making it difficult for the air to circulate and stick to people. If you want to feel more comfortable, first lower your body temperature by wearing light, comfortable clothes, drinking cool drinks and using cold towels to cool your skin. Turn on exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to help eliminate hot air from cooking or after you’ve finished showering. Putting plants in the house or planting vines as a fence will help reduce the indoor temperature significantly on hot days. Trees also work to prevent dust and filter the air, making you feel comfortable. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps. Incandescent lamps give off a huge amount of heat, the warm yellow color makes the room more stuffy. Window film is also a good idea and useful when you want your house to be cooler on a sunny day. Another trick to lower the room temperature is to put a basin of water in the room. On the high temperature background, the water evaporates, reducing the temperature significantly, helping the bedroom to be cooler. Installing 2 windows in the same room can facilitate natural air circulation, release hot air and take advantage of natural light. If your home is located in a location with a lot of harsh sunlight, choose cool colors such as turquoise, cream, white and blue, etc. to paint the walls of the house. These colors have the effect of reducing heat absorption, relieving fatigue, and relaxing the mind. Please watch the video: Another great Japanese invention. Source: Yan News

Uoy Home is a house conceptualized, developed by architect To Huu Dung and 85 Design. The work has a special design, inspired by spacecraft across space – time. Located in the Central region, where the climate is hot, the western frontage also makes the house directly suffer from harmful sunlight. To solve this problem, the group of architects applied 3 solutions to limit heat radiation. One is treating with natural solutions, using trees for wall and roof gardening. Trees are decorated right from the front of the house. The second solution is technology, using XPS heat-resistant panels 3cm thick to cover outside walls subject to the main sun direction, preventing heat absorption. The third solution is to create wind convection by opening many doors to the East and South to catch cool winds. Thanks to that, even though it is a western house, the space inside is always cool. The first floor is a common living space including living room, kitchen – dining. Open space feels seamless with a garden. The glass roof in the kitchen area is capable of removing most of the UV rays and minimizing the heat impact on the interior space. The second floor consists of 2 bedrooms, a large bedroom for parents and a small bedroom for a son. The corridor leading to a private space on the 2nd floor has a glass railing made of tempered glass. Skylights are fitted with portable curtains to shade the sun. The roof floor spends most of the area planted with grass. This is also a place where families have fun together when they cannot go far.

The project is located in Long Bien district, Hanoi, has the structure of a townhouse with two open front and back sides. Design architects give an image of a modern house that is still close thanks to the wood material in the gate system and the facade. Because the house is facing west, the wooden bar is arranged to both contribute to prevent heat radiation and also play a role in shaping the building. Taking advantage of a part of the ground floor for the garage, the roof garden of this architectural block creates an open green space with trees reaching high in front of the house. On the first floor is the space connecting the living room – kitchen and dining room. Stairs to the upper floor are designed nestled on one side to create a wide open space. Modern style interior with simple lines. Main color is neutral. Wood is used in a reasonable amount to bring intimacy but still elegance. The kitchen and dining room are located at the back connecting to a small back garden. Modern kitchen cabinets with white-brown color scheme create harmony. The house is also equipped with an elevator in the corner of the house to increase convenience in use and living. Stairs with slender, graceful steps. The second floor is a children’s space with two bedrooms. Interestingly, the long staircase upstairs stops here and is followed by a new staircase in another position that winds across the water. Next to it is the living and playing space of the children. This is an interesting and expensive highlight in the interior of the house. The use of the dark color of the bottom of the water surface feels deep, but actually the water is very shallow for safety. The third floor is the parent bedroom which is arranged as a mini apartment with different functional areas: sleeping, toilet, wardrobe and dressing. All arranged in sequence and handy.

On the scale of the UV index, 3-5 is average, 6-7 is high, 8-10 is very high, above 10.5 is exceptionally high, very dangerous. UV rays can penetrate clouds and windows, if the skin is exposed to direct sunlight for 25 minutes when the UV index is at a very high threshold, it will cause burns. UV rays are essentially thermal radiation that is harmful to the human body. UV rays are most affected by direct contact with the skin and eye surfaces, causing serious long-term problems. In the eyes, regular exposure to UV rays can lead to corneal inflammation, red eye pain, cataracts, and retinal damage. Skin, if constantly exposed to the sun without protection, UV rays will attack the dermis, making the skin darker (the phenomenon of tanning).

The World Health Organization (WHO) assesses UV rays appear at all times of the day and operate independently whether it’s rainy or sunny or shady. The most intense time of UV rays is from 10 hours to 14 hours a day. During this time, people should minimize outdoor travel and when necessary measures to prevent UV rays are required. To prevent UV damage, health experts recommend that people wear eye protection sunglasses, choose lenses that are sun-resistant, UV absorption from 99-100% will protect Best for the eyes and surrounding skin. Along with that, people should supplement with fresh fruit rich in vitamin C, which helps to limit the harmful effects from ultraviolet rays; Use sunscreen regularly every time you go out, even when it’s cloudy.
