air and wind

mghong — Sun, 23 Aug 2015 22:58:29 +0800

Hi guy,

Just want to share my experience on my new house , my unit is a Semi-D with few big scale side window at left.

1st issue
-air from maindoor are not strong enough to push airflow to the back , although i dont have any blockage at the living,dining area. I have to open out 2 side window to ensure pressure is enough to move it back.

2nd issue
-both 2 ground toilet are both located inside the building (which i mean although i open the toilet window but the smell and heat is congested inside) .although i can push in ventilation fan but it will blow to kitchen + living hall .

what i plan to do is to fix mosqito net and allow side window from ground and top to be open 24*7 and further put in ventilation fan to run 24*7 as well..

did you all got any good idea other then what i can think off ?
