Great Advice For House South

Introduction

Designing your home-sweet-home the right way can make all the difference to your way of living. A good home plan, with all the right ingredients for congeniality, can ensure a comfortable lifestyle. A south house includes the best designs by combining all the proper elements in an optimum orientation so that the sun’s energy can be used in the right amount thus helping in the building of energy efficient homes. A south house has a greater advantage over houses taken or placed at other sites. This is primarily why most of the homes made in china are made to face south, according to Chinese ‘feng shui’ origins. Here are a few tips why a south house is more advantageous than east or north east facing houses.

Step 1

Tip1:

During the winter, the sun generally rises in the south-east direction, is low in the south sky during mid-day and sets in the south west direction. So a major plus point here is that a south house remain warm during winters and also manages to provide for a cool shade during summers because in this time of the year, the sun rises in the north east, and sets in the north-west. One can also use the sun’s energy in a viable manner in a south house. South facing roofs can be accommodated with solar electric arrays and solar hot water collectors thus making houses more independent of artificially generated power. With proper site analysis tools, one can accurately make an assessment about the placement of one’s house.

Step 2

Tip2:

Another area where the south house takes an upper hand is the provision of cool breeze in them. A south house is usually more airy compared to houses built in other directions. Most of the wind currents, during summer in our country, blow from south to north. As such winds are moisture laden; they are cool and make your south house free from extreme temperature and environment fluctuations during various seasons. To maximise and facilitate winds in your south house, you can orient them within 10 degrees of the true south direction.

Step 3

Tip3:

South facing windows and doors in your south house can give room for the heat of the sun to enter in an appropriate manner. Glass windows placed in south house can provide almost 20-80% of the heat required to keep it warm. Homes situated in mild climates should be placed facing the south to generate most favourable conditions.

Tips

Tip4:

South house in Southern Europe are generally more expensive than other houses. They are better planned and are built with superior materials. Provisions for south facing ventilations and sun blocking glass windows are incorporated into such houses. That’s why most of the promoters in the city and also in the country as a whole are vying for south facing flats so that they can have maximum gains and profits.

Tip5:

South house is also safer in nature from the ‘vaastu shastra’ point of view. Even in modern times people do believe in superstitions and horoscopes and so this has become a dominant factor in building plans. Trends in opting for south house are rising gradually.
