Low Energy House in Tropical Region
- Energy efficient homes in the tropics are buildings designed to reduce energy consumption and promote natural cooling in hot and humid climates. It is designed to minimize the need for mechanical cooling systems and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, while still providing a comfortable and healthy living environment.
- In the tropics, the focus of energy efficient home design is to minimize heat gain and maximize natural ventilation. This can be achieved through the use of shading devices, natural ventilation, reflective roofing materials, insulation and passive cooling techniques. Energy efficient homes in the tropics must also consider the local climate and environmental conditions, as well as the special needs and preferences of the occupants. It must be designed to provide adequate natural light, ventilation, and indoor air quality while minimizing the use of energy-intensive systems.
