HEAT PROTECTION SOLUTIONS FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR WORKS
Vietnam is a country located in the tropical humid monsoon climate zone. Especially in the summer, the heat becomes intense and is an obstacle that affects everyone's life. Directly affects the health of family members as well as the lifespan of furniture items. Heat protection is not a simple matter, but if you grasp these secrets, heat protection will become easier than ever. Let's join JDesign Co., LTD to learn about the most effective and commonly applied sun shading measures for buildings!
I. Why is heat protection needed for Architectural and Interior projects?
The longevity and beauty of Architectural and Interior Works depends greatly on factors of the natural environment such as temperature, humidity, wind, sunlight, etc. Especially the heat factor. As everyone knows, Architecture and Interior Works are greatly influenced by the temperature of the outside environment. Preserving the longevity and beauty of the building is also one of the most important things to consider during the construction process. Therefore, the main reasons we need to heat-proof Architectural and Interior Works are:
- Helps the temperature inside architectural works and interiors to be stable, limiting the intrusion of outside environmental temperature.
- Helps keep the house airy and cool in the summer and warm in the winter, ensuring health and reducing stress and fatigue.
- Save energy when you no longer have to rely too much on cooling devices such as air conditioners, fans, etc.
- Increases the durability of the project, reduces material shrinkage and expansion, helps prevent mold, leaks or water seepage.
II. The most effective heat protection solutions for Architectural and Interior Works:
1. Planning, environmental and ecological solutions:
Vietnamese standards on heat protection for houses state: "For buildings, try to arrange so that the house facing West - East has the smallest surface area to limit solar radiation." The same goes for Architectural and Interior Works, the overall floor plan must be designed appropriately, prioritizing heat protection for living and working rooms, because those are places that people frequently use. If those spaces do not have adequate heat protection solutions, it will directly affect human life and the longevity of furniture. Below are heat-protection solutions in terms of planning, environment and ecology:
- The anti-heat solution using green plants is an effective anti-heat solution that both saves costs and protects the environment. Plants with vines can be planted on fences, porches, roofs, alleys, terraces, etc. to form a thick green cover that helps best block heat radiation from the Sun.
- Fight heat by building ponds, lakes, and fish tanks: Under conditions of temperature and humidity differences, the water surface always evaporates. The process of water evaporation is an endothermic process, so it causes the ambient temperature to decrease. From there, it not only makes the space cooler but also increases the aesthetics of the project.
Trees and water surface are always indispensable elements, accompanying architectural works. Trees create shade, prevent and cover architectural surfaces from solar radiation. Water surfaces (ponds, lakes, fish tanks, etc.) and trees regulate the microclimate, making the environment cooler and cleaner. Both elements have low emissivity, are effective elements for heat protection on an overall scale and have a large range of influence.

2. Technical solution:
Unlike the solution above, the technical solution will tend to be more complex. It requires meticulousness and precision during construction and installation. But in return, this solution brings long-term benefits. Technical heat protection solutions can include the following:
- Ventilation: Besides natural convection, ventilation is considered an effective solution for preventing heat when natural convection is ineffective. Properly designed ventilation systems will contribute to heat protection, and should be utilized - combined with architectural solutions such as skylights, open spaces, etc.
- Mist spray system: Recently, it has been widely used in different spaces such as buildings, cafes, restaurants, etc. Water spraying and misting create the phenomenon of evaporation of water to collect heat, while enhancing the air convection. In addition, the pressure of water spray and mist creates air movement that cools the space.
- Use specialized heat-protection paint: Heat-protection paint is a type of paint that contains a film-forming agent that can insulate and reflect sunlight. Thermal insulation paint is often painted on surfaces directly exposed to sunlight such as corrugated iron roofs, walls, terraces, etc. to reduce surface temperature.
- Use insulated, heat-reflective glass: With today's intense heat, whether outdoors or indoors, it makes many people tired and uncomfortable. Using insulated and heat-reflective glass helps the building stay cool and airy. At the same time, prevent any heat sources from entering from the outside environment. Prioritize use on surfaces with lots of sunlight.
- Air conditioner: This is one of the most popular measures. It's modern, easy to install and use. But, it will also consume electrical energy and is difficult to meet when used in open spaces.
3. Architectural solutions:
This is considered the most comprehensive and flexible solution. The architectural solution is a combination of plan and shape of the building, designing a reasonable covering structure to limit the surface exposed to sunlight - avoiding radiation or reducing heat conduction in materials, enhance temperature convection heat storage. We can implement these solutions right when designing the architecture and interior of the building. The basic architectural solutions are as follows:
- Reasonable layout, prioritizing main spaces to avoid contact with sun-facing surfaces; Push extra spaces such as stairs, storage, and toilets out there.
- Create setbacks and negative spaces such as hallways, technical gaps, etc. to avoid solar radiation from entering the main space surface.
- Use a sunshade structure on the outside of the cover structure (wall) to reduce radiation and heat conduction. In traditional folk architecture, many places have corrugated iron panels (bamboo panels to block the sun) on the porch. This element has been applied a lot in modern architecture with different types of sunshades, with a variety of palms.
- The facade incorporates a “hard structure” to block the sun; attached to load-bearing and shielding structures. Usually these are overhanging roofs, umbrellas, vertical and horizontal sunshades; and all kinds of walls using flowered bricks and walls built with holes.
- Build thick walls, box walls (hollow), use insulation materials (hollow bricks, insulation panels, 3D panels, aerated aggregate concrete...) for the covering structure. Door design is reasonable in location and materials. These solutions are all based on the principle of reducing radiation and heat conduction from the outside.
- Use heat-protection materials for the roof such as woven panels, perforated tiles, corrugated iron roofs (for flat roofs, concrete roofs) and use insulated false ceilings (for sloping roofs, tiled roofs). This solution must pay special attention to the issue of ventilation for the air mass between the two roof layers.
- When choosing the color of the exterior, you should choose white and bright colors such as cream, light blue, light yellow. Because these are minimalist, modern colors, suitable for Architectural and Interior Works. To help you cool down the space, especially on hot summer days. In addition, bright colors contribute to adjusting the mood to become more comfortable and airy.
