Many people have different view on the heat issue, my mom even said the wall absorb heat during the day and sunset then release heat during night time :x

The heat actually don't come from the floor, ceiling or wall, it is actually from the window and whichever place that allows air, I tinted the window and now solved most of the heat issues already since my balcony is facing west and during sunset my living room get really hot

That is even worse then... at night would be too hot to sleep

Sometimes we have to consider many factors. ESPECIALLY on which country you are living in.

We live in Malaysia whereby it is hot all day everyday. If you live in UK/US etc. their nights gets quite cold even during summer.

If you read up research on lower floor vs higher floor. Most of the cons they point out for lower floor doesn't seem relevant because they are referring it to ground floor/1st/2nd floors.

damn la.. those that do not own a level 4 or level 6 parking or.. dont own a 21floor high raise building should shut u p la..

giving opinion from yr limited theory thinking..

get the level 4parking ( if can, dont buy.. get a2nd floor parking the max) else u will have this feeling u are being cheated or u will hate your condo

Like I said, tinted all the windows solved the problem, the heat issue is because sunlight Adobe directly into my house and sunset is the hottest whole morning sun is warm

Since then the room temperature during morning and night stay roughly the same and even in hot afternoon the house don't get heat up like before, so the tint definitely helps

I don't need to research on high floor, I'm living in high floor

Mind to tell us you stay at which floor?

Used to stay lv28 for a short time, then now lv12

Hi, is the a reason you choosing LV12 from LV28. From you view, is the temperature in LV28 more heat than LV12 when during the night?

21
No brainer.

Level 28 should be cooler is it?

depends on your tolerance on temperature, some people even stay in 24c aircond room also say is warm

most of with the window open, you get fresh air and sometime chilling wind blowing inside which feel very nice especially during raining season, the cold wind blowing in is better than aircond, but during heat wave and haze season it will make your house warmer if keep the window open

somehow i feel like the wind is stronger when you get higher

in certain days during the heat wave season few months ago and sometime during the haze season where it get really hot and stuffy then i will on aircond at 27c most of the time is okay with just ceiling fan during night time, even my bedroom doesn't have aircond, only living room have it and i can still sleep in my room very well with just table fan

it depends on your lifestyle, some people like a lot of natural lights and they open the curtain to let the light in, my parents did that and it literally turn the house into an oven during the day but at night the temperature will slowly return to same temperature with outside temperature

now after staying 10 years on condo, when i go back to landed house in my hometown i feel so hot and stuffy my next house will be above 30th floor, i just like the views and the environment on high rise

Whenever you choose higher level although there is a slight increase in price; its actually cheaper because you pay the monthly progressive interest later. The EF bank will not release tye portion of 2b,2c and 2d (structure) since normally after podium completed the lower units are built first. Hence you serve lower monthly progressive payment. Having higher units level normally give better view and translate of better demand later for rental and reselling.

Completely agree
Especially for those buying first launch units although can enjoy early bird discount but the owner has to start paying the progressive interest once loan approved, and end up they have to pay up to 4 years interest

Is your mom a mech engineer because her thermodynamic knowledge is good

Thank you all for the help. I have choose the Level 21 due to the lower car park.

This topic i left it active for others to refer, just in case.

She is right though about walls absorbing heat. We call it heat capacity. As heat travels from hot area to cold area, so in the morning when the ambient temperature is colder than the wall, they absorb the heat, and at night when the ambient is colder, they release the heat.

Heat transfer through wall isn’t significant if you use clay brick. But it is considerably high if you use sand brick. Because sand brick doesn’t retain heat as much as clay brick, which means it will transfer the outside heat into your house.

And you are right too because the heat transfers the most through window (conduction & radiation) and through the air (convection). Putting tint on window is the most efficient way to reduces the heat going into your house. Choose the tint with lowest thermal conductivity. And you will save on your aircond bill too

If the wall is made of sand brick then the wall is the culprit of heat.
