Home Grown Concept

Category: home gardening plant — @ 12:02 pm

Limited land to make some people think shelter mengonsep them with home grown style. What kind of details?

Home grown architecture means that the building could have evolved or have additional space. There are two kinds of development, ie grow upwards or sideways.

Growing up means, we will build another floor on top of existing buildings. Usually for a limited land area. There is no other way except to build upwards. While growing to the side, meaning the ground that we still have ‘rest’ to be built, there perluasan. No addition to the above because our land is still quite large.

Usually the concept of home grown adjusted to the lifestyle of their owners. Typically also, they feel the need to prepare the home for the next stage. Suppose that because there are estimates of family members increases or limited land. The concept is basically whatever the house is to be comfortable and functional occupancy.

However, in terms of architecture, home grown require “handling” is different. For example, in terms of construction. This is important especially if the home conceptualized to grow upwards.

The structure is not only a foundation that must be prepared to receive the load of the whole building is planned to be developed. For example, if we plan to create two-storey house, but the new one first floor is level, then we create a foundation, columns, and beams that support for the two since we first floor building.

While for the house to grow sideways, it’s worth considering the space plan. At the core housing, the need for major ruangruang priority. Such as for the living room, family room, enough room, bathroom, and kitchen. Spatial layout also needs to be designed as such. For example planning where stairs, toilets, parks, reservoir, and so forth.

In this case, the initial design factors are critical. After a core house is built, then the next house development can be done. If the remaining land is still quite large, can be used temporarily for the park. Outside view is very important. Raul Renanda suggested that the budget for outside larger exterior.

Make your home exterior is simple, powerful, and does not leak. Someday when there are more funds, the elements of “decoration” can we fix the exterior and slicked up. Different home grown “half-finished house.”

In addition to its exterior, the interior also needs to be addressed. However, the principle is appropriate. The concept could follow the concept of growing interior exterior. In a sense, more flexible interior space, can be replaced, modified, and styled with ease. Interior interior home grown just like a regular house. Can be adjusted with the function of existing space. For example the living room filled with furniture for sitting, reading, and so forth.

Know Your Air Conditioning

Category: home gardening plant — @ 11:54 am

Today air conditioning is no longer a luxury item. From the cheap to a lot of helpless small watt on the market.

This time we will not talk about the design of the house, but more directed at the question of how should the AC at home. Recently, some literature has ever made a topic often presents a high level of comfort at home. But, be careful! Not all the information referring to the tropical climate. Moreover, different temperatures in each city. Even so, whether or not using air conditioning machines (air conditioner / air conditioning) should be considered.

The main reason to use air conditioning, divided into four factors, namely temperature, pollution, space design, and poor circulation. Whose name is the temperature that’s not necessarily. Sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Hence, more air conditioning is needed. At least the hot air can be cold. Room temperature also became the most common reasons people use when her home was in hot climates.

Second, pollution can also be the right reasons. Not only air pollution, noise pollution can be addressed by AC. Air-conditioned room sealed indirectly restrain the voices that came out and walked into the room. For example, if you have a house adjacent to the factory, in addition to air pollution, the sound of factory machinery often disturbing the peace. Another example, if your home is close to the smell of river flow or the house on the edge of a noisy highway. AC could be the perfect solution to muffle.

Third, the design space could also lead occupants to use the AC. Suppose you were forced to create a room that has no sides in contact with the outside area, do not automatically have access to fresh air. Another example, if you have a basement at home, inevitably rely on the creation of conditioned air.

Fourth, poor circulation. Expensive land prices in Jakarta, forcing people who inhabit the dense residential area. The distances between houses very close together. Whether it sideways, forwards, or backwards. Worse yet, sometimes the only air circulation from the front of the house. Because it is necessary to expedite the circulation of conditioned air.

Watch Care

In order for air-conditioning equipment to produce the ideal temperature and humidity, would need maintenance. One of them with clean air filters on air conditioners are a vital component.

For home air conditioning, minor routine maintenance should be made between two weeks to a month. The duration of treatment time is very dependent on the location of the house. If the location is close to highways or in crowded environments, light treatment should be done every two weeks. Similarly, if the weather was very hot. Because usually, followed by a lot of dust.

When the house was in a relatively clean environment, routine maintenance can distance is longer, about a month. The complete treatment can be done in three or four months.

Major maintenance includes cleaning all indoor and outdoor components. Freonnya pressure checked at the same time to determine whether or not a leak. AC treatment becomes a very important part to fungi, viruses, or bacteria do not nest there.

For hygienic, air-conditioned room and equipment was also suggested leaving small vents for air circulation. The replacement air can minimize the spread of germs. However, should the air hole is not too large so that the AC did not work hard and wasteful of electricity.

Choosing Freon

Use air-conditioning refrigerant, or more commonly known as freon also must not be indiscriminate. To use AC house, which is widely used is Freon R22.

Freon charging should be done after the air filter cleaning and maintenance. Never use a special freon to a car at a local air conditioning because of the pressure difference can be an explosion.

Saving Energy with Green Architecture

Category: home gardening plant — @ 11:41 am

Alignment of human life and nature is summarized in the concept of green architecture. Concepts that are being promoted in the life of modern man.

Green architecture is an approach to building that can minimize a variety of harmful effects on human health and the environment. Green architecture includes more than a building.

In its planning, should include the main environmental sustainability. For a basic understanding of green architecture (green architecture) that is sustainable, including landscapes, interiors, and in terms of architecture into a single entity.

In a rough calculation, if the house is a spacious 150 square meters, with the use of land for the building is 100 square meters, then the remaining 50 meters of green land should be fulfilled by empowering potential around. Nirwono example, the concept of empowerment roof and green roof garden wall. Wall rather than concrete or natural stone, but can be overgrown with vines. In addition, our ultimate goal is to create an eco green architectural design, eco-friendly architecture, architectural, natural and sustainable development.

Green architecture is practiced by increasing the efficiency of energy use, water, and materials, reducing building impacts on health through the layout, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings.

Mathematically stated, the consumption of 300 liters of water must be restored fully to the ground. For example, vegetable washing waste water can be used to wash the car. Or make absorption wells and biopori.

In terms of aesthetics, green architecture lies in the philosophy of designing buildings in harmony with nature and natural resources around them. Use building materials that are developed from natural materials and renewable building materials.

Utilizing renewable sources such as using sunlight through passive solar and active solar, and photovoltaic techniques using plants and trees through green roofs and rain gardens.

The concept of green architecture strongly supports energy conservation programs. Tropical-style house with lots of openings, formed to reduce the use of AC is also enlightening. However, it will not run smoothly if the surrounding houses are not beautiful. Aperture a lot of hot air will only enter and make their owners to install air-conditioning equipment.

Garden and yard in green architecture also does not just pay attention to aesthetics. With the food crisis, the idea could be a pharmacy roof garden or vegetable garden of life. No time anymore to make the park in terms of aesthetics alone. Vegetable Crops arranged as neat as possible, and then consumed by the owner. Some plants that are suitable for roof garden is a betel leaf, pandan vegetables, kale, and others.

People talk of green concept, but not jelly around with. Energy crisis arising out of human weaknesses in meeting the needs. Human awaiting the arrival of foodstuffs from outside the city. Tomato vegetable can be planted in the yard, not be the first choice. Prefer to wait for trucks carrying vegetables from out of town. Just think, how much energy is wasted.

A German company launched the product in environmentally friendly bricks. In fact, the product was not so friendly environment if the sea should be taken by boat out of Germany. We should be able to use the brick itself, with cost and less energy waste opportunities. Indonesian original building structure is already implementing the principles of green architecture.

In terms of interior design, green architecture requires the decor and furniture do not need too much, better sanitary ware, kitchen clean, energy efficient design, ease of clean water, area and number of spaces according to needs, quality building materials and construction is stronger, as well as water channels. To handle the waste bin, biopori hole can be a solution.
