Hey all
I’m living in landed house , just moved in few months ago..corner lot house.

Issue I have is my room is super hot
Unless I open aircon but it’s too expensive to open everyday

I also dislike opening windows because (no privacy, a lot of insects coming in, I’m a music lover, sometimes I wanna use speaker fully)

It’s been 3months but it is so hot compared to previous home

I have use 2 fan (ceiling and tower fan) and It still hot as hell
Doing work also can get sweaty

But room beside me is still acceptable,not that hot
I have tried use dehumidifier cheap rm30..not working it seems

Any idea?

pasang curtain gelap

Good ventilation.
Blower fan.

exactly, i did that on my master bedroom too, told the curtain retailer i want hotel style and it works well.

Plant trees next to the room.

When u kid mesti cikgu ajar u donno do what at the back type...... Room hot cos no ventilation no matter u pasang 10 kipas also hot. Install those mosquito fence at the window open yr window problem solve.

If your room gets direct sunlight most of the time during the day, sorry to say no amount of ventilation is gonna cool much

black curtain... window tint..

no no to ceiling fan.. lot of hot air accumulate around the ceiling.. ceiling fan just gonna roast you alive...

Do correct ayam if ayam wrong, that method only works during the day.
How bout hot rooms during night time?

Agree
No amount of black curtain n tint can help too as the wall absorbing heat and releasing it back slowly inside... literally being roasted
Just touch the wall can feel the heat.
Roof also might not insulated well hence hot air trapped inside

Nite/sleep with aircond on, cant sleep well without it.

I think this is a good suggestion.
Easiest ones would be the bamboo shoots. The shades from trees can naturally cool your indoor.

Want cold then open air con 24/7 but keep it low like 25 degree

Kena ban again?

Pasang wind turbine?

Use aircond...spray with water mist. Male sure aircond is set to cold and not dry. Enter room after 15 mins. Pergh syadu

You have to get rid of the hot air trapped between the roof and ceiling.

1 install wind turbine on roof., and
2 install ceiling exhaust fan

1. Whats ur ceiling height?
2. Ur roof what material?
3. Got space to install ventilation above ceiling?
4. Put solar panel above ur roof
5 put awning outside ur wall/window to prevent direct sun light,
6 put small water feature inside ur room
7 put some indoor plant

I just lol at all the suggestion when author clearly stated that he's too poor to even on the aircon and yet!

i dont have soul so no need sentimental

if you want free aircon, you need to take control of natural ventilation and air flow, you need to manipulate your house so that there is a natural gradient that make air flow from one side of your house to the other side. normally hot air rise, so you make vent where there is share and cooler temp, and then you open vent on the other side where the hot air can escape. with this method you will create a temperature gradient and air will flow.

i know this because the samoan tribe has been using this method for millenia

TS drillz mana ?

If no money, best you can do is remove unwanted furniture in the room to improve ventilation.
Try to open your windows. You can install mosquito nets to prevent insects from coming in.
If you have money, you can tint your window with a privacy film to reflect heat and so people cannot look in.

If your wall is facing the sun during evening, try putting netting outside your house. Most of the hot air is in your ceiling. Can also put exhaust fan at your ceiling.

nah

Your room wall facing west ar?

Interesting but wouldn't this create another issue like dengue ?

I’m using a dark coloured curtain and it’s really thick to prevent light coming in
Is there any other beside the windows , I totally don’t want windows to open, beside the insects , I don’t want any sun light at all

And I tried open windows before, it did help but still not much

Also my room have so many things like 2tv, 2 monitor, pc, most of it are electronic stuff
Is it contribute more heat? But never on 24hrs

Switch on the air-con. Set the temp to 25C. Electronic equipment will create heat especially in a closed room.

Use blackout curtains.
Install ventilation fan, facing out (draw air from your room towards outside to remove heat).
Switch to low heat lightbulbs.
Clean your fans regularly, invest in quality fans.
Make sure fabrics on bedsheets are cooling type.

Already have curtain.
Don't want on aircon.
Don't want ventilate room.
Room many electronics generating heat.

Best is to move your room to cold country. Or underground.

Either ventilate, or use aircon. Or you renovate your house like Malay kampung house, but still need to open window for full cooling effect.

Buy dry ice, place under the fan. Works fantastically well. Alternatively. You can buy the table fan and place your dry ice in front of the fan.

Sadly aircon is the only way to have both privacy and cool environment.

Without aircon, you need ventilation fan to draw in cool air from somewhere else and expel out the hot air.

If you draw air from windows in your room, your loud speaker will leak out. If you draw air from windows in another room through your door, you need a strong ventilation fan with high cfm. Your speaker will disturb your family. You’ll lose privacy in both scenarios.

Aircon + Speaker
Open windows + Headphone

Aircon is the only way. You can't change physics.

i on aircon everyday 27-28c humidity mode. Bill only rm40-50 per month.

U need to move air out rather than recirculating the hot air inside.

Bamboo shoots won't attract snakes?

air cooler

Between your roof and room plaster ceiling got pull rockwool or not? Conlanfirm don't have.

What about ventilation of room? Conlanfirm close everything because want to tfk and give excuse "doing work".

When turn on AC, do you leave the ceiling fan turned on as well? Most likely yes, because somehow you think 2 fans is better than 1 right?

Do the basics, install a traditional wind turbine on the roof n ventilation fan in ur house to suck hot air out of the house. This works immediately n like magic

This 1 . Invest a bit upfront, a cost efficient method in the long run

I think u can still turn on aircond, let it cool for 30mins to 1 hour after that turn on your fan. Hope it helps

Just on your ac set it to 27c and on ceiling fan too. Ceiling fan increase wind chill factor. Set to 27c,tnb bill won't be that high.

I have a very warm and stuffy room. So warm initially I prefer to sleep in the living room. But found the trick.

Blast your fan to fan away those hot air. Once your roon feels cool then keep having the fan on (lowest speed fan will do), just to ensure your room is cool. To save electricity, you can turn it off when you're not around but turn the fan back 3-4 hours before you sleep. And the fan should be on throughout the night, blowing at you. So you get cool air.

It works with mine, zero AC needed.

There another floor above my room, so install at the higher floor will still help?
Sorry don’t know much bout this thing but interested to try

Fan blow inside the room or outside?

I think his/her suggestion is blow from inside room ceiling fan full blast.

Yes it helps. The point is to expel heat out of the house. The wall absorbs heats during the day n release heat into the house at night. Whats inside is trapped n it needs to b expelled.

The same for attic. I suggest the traditional turbine bcos it will continue to function even at night due to wind. Solar ventilation, although more powerful, only works during the day. And the big one is more effective but expensive

Inside. So ensure room air is circulating.

You can get those japanese mattress cold padding as well. The fan wind will make it cool

My place is also facing the sunset sun, super hot. I wanna put this on my glass window but who should i contact to actually install this? Believe that i need to deal with the wiring and all sorts.
