Warm and humid climate
Mount lavinia hotel located near the mount lavinia beach. Almost all the times in the year it warm and humid climate throughout the year
Selection of materials to resist warm and humid climate o Use thermal insulation material for roofing o Paint the roof with light color o Specially glazing coating
1.Use clay tiles
Roofs should be built up with good insulation materials to resist and does not absorb heat. Over the roof slab paving mud pushka, lime concrete or foamed concrete is materials which aid to heat resistance via roof.
2.Walls
Paintings of the outside walls plays a unique role in heat resistance, outside walls painted in light and shining paints possess good reflective quality and do not absorb heat. Other than those walls should be smooth and non-dust catching type.
3.Windows
Install white window drapes or blinds to reflect the heat away
Apply sun control or reflective films on the east and south facing …show more content…
Windows zone ought to be 15 to 20 percent of floor region. Inside yard caters for cross ventilation and warm support. Suitable radiation obstructions as shades, Chhajjas, long verandahs and so forth ought to be given on the West side of the building. Adequate number of ventilators near the base of section ought to be accommodated hot air to get away from the room...
3. Orientation of walls
Thickness of wall assumes an imperative part in heat protection of building. Thicker external walls are favored as it carries on as an insulating barrier. Painting of walls from outside additionally assumes a critical part. Walls with light and sparkling paints on external surface have great heat resistant quality and don't ingest heat. The surface of walls ought to be smooth and non-dust getting sort.
Walls developed with empty pieces/blocks and Cavity Walls can likewise be given as they give great warm protection
4. Orientation of roof
Roofs ought to be developed with great insulating material having slope in windward direction and which reflects the radiation and does not ingest heat. False ceiling can be utilized to enhance warm execution of building. Terracing ought to be given on the level roof with mud phuska, lime concrete, foamed concrete or burnt clay square clearing over roof slab. Top roof surface ought to be made reflective by giving whitewashing or any reflective paint. Also roof can be extended to overhang to provide
