3 Materials to Consider to Minimize Air Conditioning Consumption!

3 Materials to Consider to Minimize Air Conditioning Consumption

It is officially summer in the Philippines. This means higher water consumption and simultaneous use of appliances to beat the heat. According to IEMOP, as reported by Asia News Network, electricity demands in Luzon and Visayas have increased by 7.7% during summer compared to March. This is because people tend to use more appliances to battle heat, especially air conditioners, leading to higher electricity consumption. But it doesn't have to be this way; we can still lessen the consumption, even in summer.

Here are the top 3 materials we recommend at True North Construction Services to lessen energy consumption when using air conditioning.

Number 1: Thermoblocks

This material reduces heat transfer, keeping your home naturally cooler and easing the load on your AC. This is because Thermoblocks has thermal insulation, which might not directly help with conditioning but helps maintain the room temperature cooler. This minimizes the need for appliances to generate cool air, as the room remains naturally cool.

Number 2: Install Reflective or Cool Roof Coating

Reflective roofs bounce back sunlight, preventing heat absorption. This lowers indoor temperatures, reducing the need for AC, just like thermoblocks.

Number 3: Low-E Glass Windows or Window Films

Low-emissivity glass and window films block heat while letting in natural light, keeping your space cooler. In addition, since the window is perfectly enclosed, cool air produced by the ACs is contained in the room, making it easier to be cooler.

The heat can be battled using appliances, but that would require higher electricity consumption. At True North Construction Services, we solve challenges using carefully selected materials integrated into your home. With our expertise and up-to-date knowledge in engineering and construction, we ensure that your home is built to suit your lifestyle while meeting the highest technical and professional standards.
