CHOOSE THE COLOR OF THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN RELATION TO THE ISSUES OF ENERGY SAVING AND IN Bioclimatic houses.
The painting of a building can still be an issue to be reckoned with, especially if we get a behavior thermally efficient building envelope.
Intuitively little light colors absorb solar radiation, as opposed to those darker.
A white body rejects radiation of all colors, while a black absorbs all light radiation.
The practical effect is that dark colors tend to heat more than light because they absorb heat energy from the sun contains.
This typical behavior of the colors part of everyday experience and can be reapplied at a profit in the selection of the color most appropriate to their specific climatic conditions of the site.
In the Mediterranean region, particularly in countries with hot climates such as Greece or North Africa, the houses are traditionally decorated in light colors, especially white.
Pure white reflects all light rays in fact, rejecting the energy and warmth of the whole gamut. The white houses are kept cooler, the same thermal insulation, those painted in dark colors, but, of course, are less able to passively absorb energy from the sun during the winter season.
in prefabricated houses dark colors should be avoided in any case, eventually entrusting the windows face south (appropriately screens during the summer) the function of capturing solar energy in winter. Any benefit obtained during the cold months could be a serious problem during the summer, forcing the installation of energy-conditioning systems , totally inconsistent with the principles of ecological wooden houses .
In the experience of passive houses are often used in dark colors are not uncommon and even the houses painted in black. This is clearly borderline cases in which the passive cooling of the building is still under control with sophisticated natural circulation systems such as the so-called "wind towers". This approach seems, however, shown little respect to the simple dwellings that are normally required by the customer of prefabricated wooden houses .
In our country the thermal stress of color, understood as the degrading action of solar radiation on the plaster of the building not find a clear legislative basis. The choice of color is largely a subjective aspect, linked to simple aesthetic reasons or, at most, urban integration and almost never refers to the appearance temperature.
E 'can be calculated a precise index of reflection for a surface point to the single color, in a range that goes from white (value 100, maximum reflection) to black (value 0, maximum absorption). Higher values \u200b\u200bintuitively refer to colors.
Without going into too much detail, it is possible to relate the outside air temperature with the color temperature of the surface of the building, determining which colors are most appropriate in relation to specific conditions and characteristics of the facade.
of prefabricated houses to their clients especially important to understand what range of colors can be more suitable for the finish of their home.
It should be borne in mind that wooden houses are almost always present outside a layer of thermal insulation finished in plaster with a medium-fine grain size (2-3 mm ), which by its nature tends to limit reflections.
The advice is certainly to avoid dark colors, and to direct the choice towards the natural light colors, even in the choice of exterior color of the frames.
