With the improvement of the quality of life, people's requirements for the living environment are also increasing. In the process of self-built houses in rural areas, how to do a good job of house insulation has become an important issue. In this article, we'll look at some effective insulation measures to help you create a home that's both comfortable and energy-efficient.
1. Choose the right wall material.
Walls are a key part of the insulation of a house. Traditional red bricks have poor thermal insulation performance due to their high thermal conductivity. Therefore, building materials with better thermal insulation can be selected, such as EPS modules, light steel structures, etc.
2. Increase the thickness of the wall.
Increasing the thickness of the wall can effectively improve the thermal insulation performance. According to national regulations, the heat transfer coefficient of the exterior wall of the building in the winter heating area of the northern region should be less than 045 W (m ·k), and less than 0 in the south6 w/(m²·k)。
3. Install insulated doors and windows.
Windows and doors are an important way to lose heat. Choosing double- or triple-glazed windows with a seal around the window frame can significantly reduce heat loss. At the same time, the material and installation of the door also need to consider the thermal insulation performance.
4. Reasonable design of floor slabs and roofs.
Floors and roofs are also important factors that affect the effectiveness of insulation. During construction, the inside of the floor slab and roof can be filled with insulation materials, such as rock wool, polystyrene foam, etc., to improve the thermal insulation effect.
5. Consider the interior layout.
Rationally plan the layout of indoor space to avoid the adverse effects of large areas of cold walls and cold floors on the human body. For example, permanent areas such as bedrooms and living rooms should be located away from the north and east sides, while less temperature-sensitive spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms can be arranged in these locations.
6. Use energy-saving heating equipment.
In the cold season, the use of energy-efficient heating equipment, such as electric heaters, air source heat pumps, etc., can reduce energy consumption and reduce the cost of living.
7. Add thermal insulation curtains and sunshade facilities.
Install heavy curtains on the windows to block cold air and prevent direct sunlight from overheating the room. In addition, the use of awnings, blinds, and other facilities during the high temperature period in summer can reduce the indoor temperature and reduce the load on the air conditioner.
In short, the insulation of rural self-built houses is a systematic project, which needs to be comprehensively considered in many aspects. Only by doing a thorough investigation and analysis can you ensure that you finally choose a design that meets your needs and has good thermal performance, laying a solid foundation for creating your ideal home.
