Construction techniques and architectural styles will vary from region to region and from country to country. The selection of material should take into account accessibility, cost, durability, and appearance as well as skill levels of construction personnel and local construction practices. If the construction techniques and materials to be used are too different from those used by construction workers, then it may be necessary to train them to ensure quality work.

The use of swan wood in the primary structure is problematic in humid climates due to deterioration, dry rot, and termites; Without chemical pressure treatment, such wood is often not a suitable material. In regions of the Caribbean and Central America that have been deforested, wood must be imported, raising the cost of construction and relegating it to uses of specialties such as logs, beams, and internal walls.

Reinforced concrete (concrete reinforced with bars or steel fabrics) in the form of a block or panel as well as enhanced concrete blocks are used in urban sites, where owners and builders build multi-story buildings. Reinforced concrete has been shown to have excellent resistance to earthquakes and excellent resistance to wind, fire, and termites. It is a widely used technique that is accessible due to a large number of local production plants. The brick made of cooked mud and reinforced with concrete in the equines and around windows is another commonly used material. Adobe (walls of earth or blocks reinforced with straw and cooked by the sun) is a construction material that is particularly appropriate for arid climates and where access to the site or area is limited.

Building Smart Air Duct for Easy Cleaning

An air duct is one of the important features of a house. It is necessary for ventilation, cooling and heating of the house. It is one of the common features of a modern house and should be cleaned like any other part. Although many fail to understand this, therefore the cleaning of the air duct is thoroughly ignored. Sometimes the reasons for this is the ignorance on the side of the homeowner, on the need to clean the duct while those who know find it difficult to clean because of the complicated way it was installed. So, before building an air duct you must consider the need to clean it. The tips for building a smart air duct for easy cleaning will be discussed here, but, first, we must understand what an air duct is.

What is an air duct?

An air duct or ductwork is responsible for carrying both cooled and heated air from the air conditioning unit to every part of the house. They are usually found in the walls or ceilings of the house. The points at which this air enters the house is called the vents.

It is necessary for the air duct to be always clean, a dirty air duct poses a serious danger to the people living in the house it is being used.

Dangers of a Dirty Air Duct

The accumulation of substances like pet fur, pet waste, mold and dust in the air duct, negatively affect the quality of air in the house as it becomes polluted. Smoke from cigarettes and condensed air in the air duct also destabilize the function of the air duct, hence, a poor quality of air is distributed to the house. Constant inhalation of this contaminated air might have an adverse effect on the health.

Benefits of Cleaning the Air Duct

Removal of dirt from the air duct prevents the spread of dangerous particles in the house and equally reduces the threat of diseases. It is very essential to clean the air duct in a house that people with allergies or asthma live in regularly, simply because these particles go a long way in making the respiratory system dysfunction. Constant removal of dirt from the air duct also helps prolong the life of the Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning system (HVAC).

Building Your Air duct for Easy Cleaning

When building the smart air duct for easy cleaning, there are things to be considered. A little-advanced knowledge of physics is also required in your calculations. As a result of this, it is advised that you leave the building of your air ducts to professionals with the tools and experience.

Few things like the amount of heat and cool air each room require the weight of air, potential build up pressure, materials quality, turbulence, the available static pressure, friction, the best lengths etc. needs to be considered. All these factors and more needs to be well aligned before you can proceed to build the perfect smart air duct system.

An easy to clean air ducts need to be accessible even for a non-professional air duct cleaners. Making sure of this while getting your air ducts installed will go a long way in making sure you don’t have to keep paying air ducts cleaners. This way you can easily get your air ducts cleaned yourself and ensure proper maintenance of the overall air duct system.

Things consideration when building a smart air duct for easy maintenance and cleaning.

Make sure the components of the HVAC system including the air handling units, exhaust fans are easily controlled and accessible. That is, it shouldn’t require, a ladder, crawling or removal of ceiling tiles to access them when cleaning.
Labelling of the HVAC system components. This allows the operator to identify the parts during maintenance and cleaning so as to avoid tampering with the wrong parts. The labelling should be done in form of words and diagrams. The Air Handling Unit could be labelled as AHU, the outdoor air as OA, supply air (SA), return air (RA) and exhaust air (EA).
The proper location of outdoor air intakes can reduce the blockage of airflow and the taking in of contaminated air. The air intakes should be at least 8 inches above the ground.
Quality materials should be used in building the HVAC system. This is to prevent casualties like roof and wall leaks during rain or snow and moist outdoor air entering the building.

How to Prevent a Sweating Air Duct

A sweating air duct is as a result of the accumulation of condensed air, this turns air into its liquid form. This causes the air duct to be moist, hence, a perfect condition for mold to grow in. Therefore, the air duct should be cleaned before the molds start growing in it. A sweating air duct can be prevented by properly insulating the HVAC system.

The cleaning of your air ducts on a regular basis is an activity that cannot be overlooked and making sure to stay on top of it is something that will be of considerable advantage to you in the long run. If you don’t have the time to do your cleaning yourself or your air duct was not build for easy access you can always seek the service of readily available experts.

How Can You Be More Energy Efficient In Construction?

Energy today is a necessary resource to maintain our rhythm of life. Traditional resources, although still in use, imply a series of consequences that can be harmful to our environment. For this reason, every year that passes, alternatives have sought that advocate the maintenance of this energy without compromising our future and that of future generations.

The buildings and houses at present, require a great expenditure in what refers to energy, from heating to air conditioning, through the use of electrical appliances. Therefore, we are facing a boom regarding efficient constructions. From modular homes that are very respectful of the environment to self-sustainable futuristic designs whose objective is to minimize the footprint that the human being can leave in the environment.

Characteristics Of Bioclimatic Buildings

The design of a house or bioclimatic building is smart, always looking for ways to guarantee maximum efficiency through the combination of renewable and conventional sources in such a way that you can save as much as possible energy and money.

What Is A Bioclimatic House Like?

One of the most important factors when talking about a house with these characteristics is orientation when the house faces south, solar energy is harnessed better in winter, and its impact is reduced in summer, a good way to save in heating and air conditioning expenses. On the other hand, it is an ideal way to create passive solar systems, that is, you can take advantage of those constructive elements that favor the accumulation of heat without using any device indicated for it and whose cost can be relatively high.

Efficient structure

When it comes to building or remodeling a house, you always have to take into account the structure and how it is available to favor greater energy efficiency. Nowadays, modular homes that are usually compact and regular to maximize this efficiency are very fashionable, as well as helping to make their visual impact less harmful to the environment.

Ecological materials

When building a house, the use of specific materials is very important. Initially, proposals for new materials that imply greater sustainability or efficiency can result in a high cost, but in the long run, they are much more profitable since they allow a higher quality construction and, above all, are much more respectful with the environment. Therefore, if what you want is a house that meets the parameters of sustainability and efficiency of today, we must bear in mind that the initial outlay may be higher in pursuit of higher profitability.

The green areas are essential

Today, societies around the world are witnessing a boom in green areas, from urban gardens to vertical gardens. Therefore, sustainable and efficient construction must prioritize this aspect. In this way not only we adapt our house to the environment, we can also take advantage of the advantages in terms of energy efficiency that a garden can offer us on our roof, a small garden on our balcony or the possibility of having a vertical garden in the interior of our home that helps regulate the temperature and the environment.

The Construction Process

In some areas, prefabricated modules (as well as those for roofs and wooden panels) can be employed, simplifying the construction process. Because it minimizes the need for intermediate elements for frameworks, roofing with zinc-coated galvanized steel has become popular in many regions. Unfortunately, it transmits heat, and when it rains, it produces noise. One method to alleviate the heat problem has been to make roofs with double layers of corrugated material, providing an air source to allow heat to escape. Due to the force of the hurricane winds, terraces made of blocks or concrete plates are preferred, especially for those structures that serve as shelters and places of public assemblies such as schools and churches.

Finally, composite cement and wood panels made from a blended mixture of wood fibers, chips and fiber, and cement are used for interior and exterior walls in small house projects instead of solid and thick reinforced concrete panels. They can be finished with a cement mortar “stucco” to look like concrete constructions.A factor in the selection of materials is the criterion of conservation and environmental impact. Bricks need wood fuel to be made, but that is not the case with panels and concrete blocks.
