Local kid further study in country with 4 seasons. Comes back as an architect and designs house based on foreign designs. Ends up with house that is designed to withstand winter.

Old house below has lower temperature.

Yes. Old house more practical. Modern house now if no aircond you will get roasted.

Apa different old vs new house?

Must be the inside.

The outside looks the same.

No new house design for comparison?

Old houses have better clay bricks and clay roof tiles.

i install exhaust fan in kitchen. at least functional to temove trapped heat and odor from cooking (if not yet caught by hood), and to also move wind from front to rear.

not foolproof though as it depends on volume transferred.

the ventilation of the hollow bricks?

Some old single story has air well

... and those bricks with holes installed on top of windows.

Air vent . Old house got void for natural air vent.

new home with concrete roof top is the worst.

Materials used.
Srs.

Ini kena tanya /k architect tu
Sapa dia

Those bricks with holes are absolute nightmare to clean & paint though.
Plus it let bugs in.

Probably a different design that solves the issues would be better.

Global warming is a bigger issue.

Weather so hot nowadays

my experience is different, new house is cooler than old house. You just bought wrong project and wrong developer

This one favourite entry for nyamuk and cicak.

where the new house design.

the house without bumbung wan, im pretty much sure hot.

Old house got batu angin that helps to regulate room temperature

Malaysia is very outdated one la. Even Thailand is already using rockwool insulation and mechanical ventilation.

Natural ventilation is only OK if the air around you is clean (mountain for eg). So whenever I see some supposedly high end ID doing natural ventilation for a house located in the middle of the city I straight facepalm.
