Furniture's Of A Cooling Home
Introduction: Furniture's of a cooling home basically includes incorporation all the furniture's in a house, which helps in keeping the temperature of the house low and thus
Keeping the inner environment cooler than the outer atmosphere.
Cooling of the body: Our body constantly produces and releases heat to maintain the body temperature of 98.6 F. Body heat is released in three ways Convection, Evaporation, and Radiation. During 100% relative humidity and temperature above 92 F body finds it very difficult to release the body heat and thus in turn the body temperature rises. But at a
Comfortable temperature of 75 F and 50% relative humidity the body releases 20% of the
Body heat by evaporation and the remaining heat is being released by the process of convection and radiation.
Heating of the indoor: Unwanted heat accumulated in the indoors-causing discomfiture
Is termed as The Heat Gain. Heat driven through the walls and roofs due to high outdoor temperature accounts for 10% of the heat gain rest of 90% of heat gain occurs due to the
Solar gains, air leakage and internal gains.
Furniture's: Furniture's are the equipments used to make our home worth living. They include beds, chairs, tables and etc. The furniture's used are generally made of woods,
Metals, plastics, marbles, glass, fabrics and related materials. Thus keeping in mind the cooling purpose of the home materials used in making the household furniture should be of the nature, which can also acts as an insulator. Thus such materials help in reducing the internal heat, which has been accumulated in the indoor.
Nature of the material: The materials used for the purpose of making the furniture are of prime importance. First we consider the wood which is by nature an insulator and thus preferable for making the household furniture. Granite and marble on the other hand are known to release heat thus they are preferably not included in the home.
Placement of the furniture: The furniture should be placed in a house such that it does not create much of a commotion. The idea is to keep the house more spacious, which helps, in proper flow of the air. The placements of the bed and the sofas should as such to expose it to maximum amount of airflow.
Thus furniture comes as quite a handy tool to maintain a lower temperature indoors so as to create a cool and comfortable home.
