I just moved to my new house and i notice both ground floor and 1st floor are hot.. Like sauna house.. Even after close aircond the air goes back hot.. Even woke up in morning walk out from my master room to family hall area the air still the same.. Where does the hot air come from? Any solution?

well your house's air ventilation probably is bad

Is it because of i dint open all the windows? Scared all the insects fly in..

what you could try is to install nets on your windows and open them. This way at least air can come into the house.

the best is to have air come in from one part and escape on the other one. Example go in from the front and go out from the back of the house

Yeah you're right.. But my previous house dont have this problem even dint open the window.. Hmmm....

A lot of factor imo
1. Now hot weather already
2. Location of ur house
3. House design/material use
Etc etc

Search previous post about this topic..hv been discussed before

intermediate terrace?

Yes..

Face east or west?

Radiant heating from the walls and roofing..

Your roofing either do not have the Sisalation aluminium foil, ceiling space ventilated or perimeter roof overhang stopping the suns radiant heat from heating up your house..

Inadequate ventilation, reflected heating, poor insulation, lots of factor but you can start looking for the causes..

Face direct South o..

Few factors to consider:

a. Ventilation - Windows opened / closed

b. Directional facing of the house - Old house used west and the setting sun, evenings were extremely hot

c. Location - Some locations are exposed to more heat from the sun, especially in new housing areas where the trees are not fully grown yet.

d. Type of material used in the house - broken marble flooring tends to give the interior a more cooler feeling compared to tiles but most tiles look nicer these days.

e. Ceiling height - if ceiling is a little low, not much place for the hot air to go

f. Heat insulation under the roof tiles - It helps, even better is there is a fan to draw out hot air from within roof during the day.

g. Lack of trees in the area - relates to point c


The above are just some of the causes that i can think of. Hope you find something that matches your home.

My personal experience is tint your window, it greatly reduce the heat of your house internally.

ergg..... TS is selling tinted film

try install roof ventilation turbine

All my 3 rooms install a ventilation fan, every time back home, i will switch on at least one ventilation fan and open up room windows to allow fresh air coming in.

Like other mention, the wall, type of paint, ceiling height, and house air circulation play a major role in the house temperature.

Have you do some renovation to your house and block some ventilation?

Are you doing some extension out ?

Your house face direction?

Are you install some awning infront and back ? Is your left/right neighbour install the awning too ?

All this will effect your house air flow and blocking.

Take some pic of your house and put here. For easy to understand.

Opps...did not realise that.

Where can i get this ya?

turn ur location on & google "roof ventilation turbine"
