QUOTE(Current Events guy @ Oct 21 2022, 06:03 PM) Apa different old vs new house? Different batu bata. Must be the inside. The outside looks the same.  Old house mostly use clay brick. Modern house use white brick as cheaper. White brick made from sands, and usually will retain heat. House hot until night yo. Sure need aircond. |

May I know why during sunny afternoons, the upstairs can be super hot while downstairs can still be quite cool? All the hot air rise up there and cannot vent??? That's the reason?

Old house design have holes or fins style opening at the bottom of the door for air intake and high ceiling for hot air to escape. Nowadays all is shut for security reasons.
