I install foldable glass door at kitchen area . Now no more such problem

yesss?

Can paint the roof white?

When you say modern, what do you mean exactly?

And by the way, Malaysian architecture education has been around since before WW2. Although trained by British architects, these architects have been around in Malaysia, design building in Malaysia considering Malaysian climate.

We only began studying overseas in the late 70s, when the economy is better and people can afford studying abroad. By then, Malaysian architecture has already took its current form.

If you ask me, the issue about hot houses are multifaceted. One, it could be caused by architects not aware of local climates. But I have to tell you, even if you study 10 years overseas, you'll come back and MUST practice with local firms, where there will be architects with local tropical experiences.

Most of the time I blame developers. Not many developers are even trained in built environment. They got rich doing something else, then decided to venture into property development. Then they pay architects who would design the way they think appeals to the rakyat. And of course, rakyat being susceptible to advertisements, starts spending money on inappropriately designed houses.

And there's also the problem of kontraktor cuba buat kerja arkitek. This is very common, as home owners think that architects are just some glorified chef, and can save cost by NOT paying architects. So sekarang rumah kau panas, rasakan.

Wont be as effective as installing insulation under the roof tiles.

Cost must b very high

Heat trap true.

But if you keep your windows open now in the city area, expect all the dust and dirt to come in.

Air now not the same as 40 years ago.

Thst is why cold is better than heat.
It is easier to heat the air than cool them.

You dont have this problem if you stay in condo

Not as high as continuous cooling bills for the next 20 years.

The house design you showed owes most of its origins to southern China

Ventilation, air-well, fresh air changes all mentioned in UBBL / CIDB mah.
If building not up to code still can pass CCC means what?

Got one housing area in premium place in kalabg valley. Got heat trap .design failure .no air vent to channel hot air . The developer compesate by gave 3 econ fir each house. Cant ammend coz it related to many law and design that already sign up in snp

Different time, different design.

Old houses used to have high ceiling and high windows for good ventilation. The problem is that it is difficult to clean the high ceiling and those high windows can be entry point for burglars.

Modern houses abandon this design and assume owner will put AC. Some new houses don't have ceiling fan point but come with AC points.

Designer house has lots of glasses that would turn sun ray into heat. Also western house design likes to trap air in house without air circulation out to increase amount of CO2 to heat up temperature. The right local oriented house would divert air into house and circulate out so that there won't be concentrated CO2.

Install air con

Modern problems require modern solutions

Not only poorly engineered, but also poorly designed aesthetically. Featureless facades similar to the featureless faces of the designers and architects who design them.

It can be up to code but still insufficient. UBBL was not written based on the science we have today.
