If space is a condition for meeting basic needs, then factors such as lighting and ventilation in the room directly affect the comfort of the house. After considering the appropriate space, how do you choose a house that is comfortable to live in?
In the process of checking the market, I found that many salesmen are very good at "solving problems". For example, if you say that the house faces north and there is no sunlight to dry clothes, the salesperson will say that many washing machines now have dry cleaning functions; you said It’s exposed to the west and the top floor is hot. The salesperson will tell me which house doesn’t have air conditioning now.
In fact, the space created by the equipment is like an office building with closed doors and windows and constant air conditioning throughout the year. The temperature is comfortable but makes people feel stuffy. In a house with sunlight, air convection, and no noise when the windows are open, you can enjoy being at home under the shade of the park trees in summer, quiet and cool; in winter, you can bathe in the warm afternoon sun, and even the clothes that have been dried by the sun will be dry. It seems to exude a soothing smell. Keeping your living space close to sunlight and breeze is essential for enjoying life. People who pursue high-quality life will choose villas. In fact, they prefer the closeness between villas and nature. Most of the villas are built near mountains and rivers, facing north to south, with private courtyards where you can enjoy the sunshine and breeze at any time.
Among the choices of bungalows, bungalows with one elevator and one elevator that enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view are already very rare. In small and medium-sized apartments, due to the influence of surrounding apartment types, the lighting and air convection of different apartment types vary greatly. Therefore, the importance of choice is self-evident. Below we will provide a reference for everyone to buy a house based on lighting, convection and other aspects (the house purchase discussed below specifically refers to the two-echelon, two-family and two-echelon multi-family).
Daylighting: South-facing apartments have the best light
The orientation of an apartment directly affects the lighting. Depending on the geographical location and the movement of the sun, generally south-facing apartments have the best light. Among the various house types, the south-facing one (the orientation of the bungalow is based on the main balcony, the same below) offers the highest living comfort. Most of the houses sold in Foshan are facing south, and some units have balconies facing southeast or southwest. From the perspective of light, south-facing houses also have the best light because they are surrounded by the sun during the day. Among the two houses facing south, the house on the southeast receives the rising sunlight from the east in the morning, while the house on the southwest is illuminated by the setting sun in the afternoon. If the western sun is combined with poor indoor air convection, it will increase the temperature of the room. Relatively speaking, the temperature of the house in the southeast is more comfortable. However, since many residents in modern cities go out during the day and return home in the afternoon and evening, the lighting angle at this time means that houses located in the south and southwest have better light.
Houses developed by mainstream real estate companies are generally south- and north-facing. Among them, houses with north-south convection have the best light. If the feeling brought by lighting can be described as "weather", then a house with a pure south orientation would be sunny. Houses facing purely north will have relatively poor lighting, especially low-floor houses, where the lighting may be unsatisfactory. A house facing east will be very bright in the morning, but will be very dark in the afternoon; a house facing due west will be very dark in the morning, but will have plenty of sunlight in the afternoon, but will face exposure in summer.
Another major factor that affects lighting is the floor, floor spacing and apartment type. Generally speaking, the lower the floor, the greater the impact of light from the surrounding environment such as obstruction by tall buildings. The narrower the distance between floors will further affect the lighting of the lower floors. Similarly, the more units there are, the greater the impact on living light will be because everyone uses the surrounding space closely for lighting.
In addition, whether the balcony floats out will also have a great impact on the light in the living room. The left and right sides of the balcony of some apartments are enclosed by solid walls, which is equivalent to an indoor balcony and cannot enjoy more outdoor light. This is also It greatly affects the light in the living room. Similarly, the size of the room's windows also directly affects the light in the room. Especially for some houses facing north, if the balcony is blocked by a solid wall in the east direction, the balcony is just a decoration and it is difficult to enjoy the sunshine.
Ventilation: Follow the principle of wind in and out
From the perspective of ventilation, the best air convection is north-south convection between two households on one staircase, whether it is southeast or southwest wind, All can be passed through the hall or room.
For some houses with non-north-south convection, such as small houses facing south, when purchasing, you can pay attention to whether convection can be generated through the channel outside the door of the room. In fact, among many two-elevator and four-unit house types, there is an openable window at the end of the elevator aisle outside many south-facing units. During decoration, the house only needs to install a breathable stainless steel door to achieve north-south convection. However, in the design of some apartment types, there is a curved elevator room outside the door, so it is impossible to rely on the passage to generate convection air. In addition to the north-south convection in the living room, the air convection in the room is also very important, which means that the comfort brought by the natural wind can be well enjoyed.
One thing that needs to be made clear is that north-south convection must follow the principle of wind in and wind out. Taking the master room where convection can be achieved as an example, if the north-facing bathroom window cannot be connected in a straight line with the south-facing room window, there will be no convection effect. For example, some master room windows have windows on the north side, but there is a load-bearing solid wall in the middle. No matter how clever the later decoration is, the convection effect in the master room cannot be achieved. In houses with two stairs or more, most of the convection in the guest room can only rely on the door to communicate with the next room. Therefore, a bedroom that can open the door for convection is also an important indicator of convection comfort.
In addition to the orientation, the air flow on high floors is relatively better. However, the wind noise will be greater, and you need to pay more attention in weather conditions such as typhoons.
In addition, for two-ladder multi-family house types, except for those that can achieve north-south convection or those facing south, other house types with poor orientation will have poor air convection comfort. Therefore, for small-area apartments, choosing a small apartment with two staircases and four households or two staircases and three households will be more comfortable than a small apartment with two staircases and six households or two staircases and eight households.
