The house is not ventilated and stuffy. What are the solutions? How to renovate the house better?

We all know that house decoration is quite complicated. Some houses have bad layouts and bad orientations, so the houses are not well ventilated and often get stuffy in the summer. This is a common phenomenon. So what should we do if the house is not ventilated and hot? Let's take a closer look!

What to do if the house is hot and stuffy without ventilation

First: Open design

If the house is stuffy and poorly ventilated, it may be due to the orientation of the house, the air flow is blocked by a building, or there are too many solid walls in the house structure. If it is due to the structure itself, it is easier to solve. You can adopt an open design and, if conditions permit, reduce the obstruction of solid walls and increase the air flow in the house.

Second: Style

Although the concepts of stuffiness and lack of ventilation are similar, they are affected by different conditions. For example, weather and decoration style can cause stuffiness indoors. If the weather is hot and the interior decoration is dark and cumbersome, it will only cause visual and psychological depression and increase the feeling of stuffiness.

Therefore, when decorating, try to choose a simple and fresh style, such as Nordic style, minimalist style, modern style, etc., and then match it with plain colors and simple furniture, and there will be some improvement.

Third: Furniture Purchase

In addition to the open design, the size of the furniture also affects the air flow under certain conditions. If the apartment is already very small, then try to choose small furniture to avoid blocking light and ventilation.

Fourth: Increase the number of windows and increase the window area

If there is insufficient ventilation and lighting, you can increase the number of windows in the space if conditions permit, use large floor-to-ceiling windows to bring light into the room, and improve the living environment of the space.

Fifth: Use central air conditioning

If you think the above methods are too drastic, you can choose to install central air conditioning and use a ventilation system to increase indoor air circulation.

How to renovate a house that is not ventilated and hot

Ventilation modification

Only if there are windows in the north-south direction in the house will it not affect the ventilation of the house. The ventilation of the house with windows in the east-west direction will be even worse.

Poor ventilation has a direct impact on the living experience. The indoor air quality is very bad, especially in the coming autumn. The main way to solve the indoor ventilation problem is to open windows. Generally, there are two ways.

①Use duct fan

Directly drill holes in the wall to connect the pipes, and use the pipes to draw outdoor air into the room. This kind of decoration cost is relatively low, and only a small part of the ceiling is needed to cover the pipes.

②Fresh air system

The fresh air system is used to circulate outdoor air in the machine and send the purified air into the room. As air pollution becomes more and more serious, more and more owners are using fresh air systems. Even for some apartments with good ventilation and windows on the north and south, they will choose to use fresh air systems to purify the indoor air.

①Poor air circulation

The indoor air is not circulating. Coupled with direct sunlight, it is inevitable that the room will be stuffy and hot. This is more obvious in the rooms facing west. So we mainly solve the problem of stuffiness in the house from the perspective of indoor air circulation and direct sunlight.

We have already introduced above the methods of opening windows for ventilation when indoor air is not circulating. One is to add a duct unit, and the other is to use a fresh air system.

② Direct sunlight

Use curtains when the sun is strongest, from 12:00 to 15:00 for south windows and from 16:00 to 19:00 for west windows. The light blocking degree of the curtains should reach more than 40%. Otherwise, it will not play a role in UV protection.

Use anti-ultraviolet glass or anti-ultraviolet film to ensure that the winter sun is not affected. The glass on the south side can be used less, and the glass on the west side can be used all.

Tips for a hot and humid house

1. If the room is too hot in the summer, open the doors and windows of the room when you get home, and then quickly open and close the door several times to help the hot air circulate indoors and help the room cool down quickly.

2. When the weather is hot in summer, you can consider replacing sun-proof curtains to effectively isolate the strong radiation of ultraviolet rays to prevent the room from being heated by the sun. When you go out, you can open the windows for ventilation. This kind of curtain can effectively resist heat. White curtains or blinds can block 40-50% of the heat in the sun; thick curtains or bamboo curtains can block 60-80% of the heat although they affect the sight. The psychological feeling of the darker room after installing the curtains is the most important thing, which can be lower than the actual temperature.

3. If you want to cool your house quickly without air conditioning, sprinkle some water on the ground to help heat it up. If there is a floor or this shape is not suitable for splashing water, you can soak a towel in cold water and wring it out, and wipe it to effectively cool it down.

4. If the room is hot in the summer, keep the room clean and empty to reduce heat accumulation. Keep your room clean and tidy by clearing away clutter, and keeping your room open can help it cool down by reducing heat storage.
