Beat the Heat with an Easy Cooling Solution That Costs a Tenth of an AC- Latest News
Latest Roof cooling information : Climbing temperatures and soaring summer heat means greater
expenditure to cool homes, provided there are no issues with electricity
supply. However, here is an easy way to cool your house even in the
peak of summer, at minimal cost.
I stay in the rural town of Phaltan in western Maharashtra. Phaltan weather is mild, but in the months of April and May, the air temperatures reach 45°C.
For the last 33 years, I have been living in a house which is passively air-conditioned. I designed and built the house and its cooling system in 1984. The house has 16-inch thick stonewalls, and on the roof we have put a green shade net on a simple angle frame to stop the sun heating up the roof surface. The roof surface is covered with jute gunny sacks which are sprinkled with water either once or twice a day.
This simple system cools the house very nicely. The evaporating water from the soaked gunny sacks cools the roof, and the ceiling fan inside the room drives the cool air down.
The green shade net does not allow the direct sunlight to heat the gunny sacks, so together with the evaporating water, they remain cool throughout the day and night. Need Relative Tensile Membrane Structures, Shading Structures
