Maximize natural lighting in our homes

The energy crisis experienced by our country at this time resulted in a lack of electrical energy. More than 60% of electrical energy consumed by the settlement. Response to this, we need to promote energy conservation. When designing a house, energy saving should also be considered. One way to save energy is to reduce electricity consumption for lighting in daylight, so that no wasteful electricity. Another advantage is that it also saves money saving rental power. Steps to be taken is to maximize natural lighting (from sunlight). The sunlight coming through the window is determined by the large number and shape of the window. The size of the window is predicted to meet the need of sunlight. Elongated shape and above the window cause incoming light enough, but less good light distribution. Laterally elongated shape window is more effective to provide optimal lighting.
In addition, window coverings also contribute to light a dark room. Instead, the windows have curtains, or other coverings that can be set so that the lightness and darkness in the room can be arranged as well.
Materials shutters also play a role in the inclusion of lighting. Clear glass is the best material to pass light into the room, the light went up to 90%. Stained glass can reduce the light entering into a very small up to 10%, for example black glass. Opaque materials such as plastic, frosted glass or white glass fiber also absorbs light until only 30%. That is, the more nodes
glass, the more can go into the light. For space hidden or less lighting, better not wear colored or opaque glass.
In addition to the window cover material, other materials for consideration are finishing the walls, the color of furniture, ceiling and floor. Basically the best color to reflect light is white, so white wall very well to minimize artificial lighting. The black color is the worst color to reflect light, making the room darker. Pastel colors are often chosen because it is good enough to reflect light and feel of the room is warm.
Furniture also require attention to the color accordingly. The color of young furniture, such as pastel colors, will help reflect light better so that natural lighting is more effective. For the room is narrow and rather dark, light-colored furniture will help maximize the lighting.
In urban areas, because often the spaces did not get direct sunlight, the lighting a lot depends on the reflection of light from the surface of the ground, pavement or from the surrounding buildings. When this happens the steps that need to be taken is to maximize the reflection from the pavement or land use materials that reflect light well, such as white color to pavement that reflect light (reflect light up to 70%). The grass is not too good to reflect light (only 6%). This needs to be consulted with the architect in charge of home design.
