4 Materials walls and its ability to withstand heat radiation

Using the air conditioner is the biggest monthly expenses include electricity for homes, when we know there are ways to reduce heat in the house with an alternative way, maybe we can use in homes. One way to reduce the heat in the room, the use of appropriate building materials. Various types of building materials to the heat absorption, ie how long the wall material is hot on the inside of the building. For example, in the afternoon, how many hours the wall can withstand heat up to maximum heat is included in the room rate. Of course the wall in question is a wall with a material used as a wall, not a patch alone (exposure). The material described here is a wall of stone materials, concrete, brick and wooden walls.
Materials stonewalls
The walls of natural stone is one of the most material stores heat radiation, so the walls are made of stone cold longer, while other material is already warm. The most recommended stone wall around the house so much cooler and reduce or even eliminate the use of air conditioning. 30cm thick stone walls can withstand heat up to a maximum of 8 hours, which means that the heat from outside will be stored in the wall for 8 hours before the really hot. Dutch-built houses many ancient walls with natural stone on the floor of the house, which also serves to keep the heat. The stone walls can be an extension of the first stone to be.

Concrete materials

Concrete wall, including a second material that can retain heat and keep out of. Because the concrete walls are used as well, so that we reduce or eliminate the use of air conditioning. 15cm thick concrete wall material (normal wall thickness) can withstand heat up to a maximum of 3.8 hours before the walls of the room is really hot.

The stone-brick wall material
Brick wall is the wall of the most commonly used for housing in our country. This wall can also store heat for a long time, where the walls of 10 cm can withstand heat up to a maximum of 2.3 hours. Therefore, if exposed to direct sunlight, brick walls will feel the most heat for 2.3 hours. Although these materials are less able to store heat in comparison with natural stone and concrete, but the material is most readily available and are among the most economical because it is best to use.

Wall material of wood
Wall of wood is widely used in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Sumatra, New Guinea and other external Java. Wood materials available island that is still a lot of wood production, as well as a good way to build hereditary. Unfortunately, the wood material is not long in retaining heat, because the walls 5cm wood can a maximum heat radiation only valid for 1.3 hours. Because it is a wooden house must have adequate ventilation for more cold. Even when using the AC, requires more electrical energy.

A variety of materials for walls, it is best to use natural stone walls, but we must also consider the height, number of ventilation, wall height, and so if we do not plan on using the AC. However, given the natural stone wall and the environment as a result of natural rivers from damage, it is still advisable to use the brick walls.
