Why it is necessary to make energy efficient
buildings ?
Everyone is concerned about environment , and doing random activity to save environment. But everything starts from
home. If we can make our building more energy efficient then that will be a good contribution to our environment.
There are different type of doors are available in market which can act as thermally insulated barrier between the
environment and house. Such as wooden , fiberglass, UPVC material . But among them fiberglass doors and windows
have excellent thermal property. It is better to use these kind of doors to make the house more comfortable energy
efficient. Also there are doors available of mixed category. Such as wood-clad steel doors, which is better even than
fiberglass materials.
Ventilating system:-
Ventilating system also plays a vital role in maintaining the room’s temperature. In different season the air passes
through in different direction which affects the room’s temperature by flowing the air into the house. So consult with
an architecture to make the house ‘s ventilation system in such a way that the room’s temperature will be maintained
in all season.

Like every aspect in house colour of room also affect the room’s temperature. So don’t think to choose random colors
for your house that can affect your house’s environment . According to research dark colors absorb more heat from
sun’s radiation and then transfers it into the house. But light colour radiate the heat away from home making the
house more cooler. Example white wall gains 35% less heat than dark walls.

people now a days find the dark colour more fascinating . It’s ok to use dark colour inside the home but try to use
lighter colour outside the home.
