(See the 'quick sketch' of a Healthy Fresh Air Home)
As the hot air is pumped out through the roof top by one centralized ventilator, it sucks out air from all rooms and fresh air flows in through doors and open windows. Curtains wave gently and you feel a subtle air flow on your skin.
Indoor air is fresh and healthy with a stabilized temperature (not like aircon; jumping from too cold to too hot).
The fan will carry away stale air, cooking odours, insect spray fumes, out-gassings from synthetic furnishing and building materials, mould spores, dust mites and water vapour from the kitchen.
Without this invention, the roof (and ceiling) will become very hot in no time; the ceiling heats up the air in your room etc.
Philippines House Design: No Air Conditioners
Heavy advertising from air conditioner manufacturers has lead us to believe that air conditioning is the only way to cool our home.
You do not need an airconditioning (or only a little modest one for when temperatures are realy high) to cool your home.
Aircon can be unhealthy, blows (contaminated?) air in your face too cold or sometimes shuts of; it is never exact as you like it.
We hope that this concept of 'Natural Home Cooling' at least makes people think about Green Building so please make a link to our website on any BLOG; spread the word!
