This video is about the right orientation & placement of house windows in Pakistan
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR CONNECTION: : Okay so let me ask you a question. what is that thing that connects the outer and inner I mean the interior and exterior of the house? I think you might have guessed, this magical connection is called windows
WINDOWS: Windows play important part in the beauty of your home and does not only provide fresh air and light but also is good to view the outside views. You might have heard when an architect or interior designer designs a house, they ask client requirements and in that they ask the client about their profession and their families profession. This is done to know what is important for that family and what type of environment do they want. TYPES OF WINDOW OPENINGS: There are lots of types of window openings but we usually take two kinds of them. one with the grill in which many different materials are used like aluminum or wooden etc. which are better security wise. The other type is the simple wide glass windows which are better for visual aspect and looks very beautiful and aesthetically strong.
WINDOW ORIENTATION AND TREATMENT: Now let's talk about window orientation. When architects make plan they keep the windows on the north side because from north direct sunlight does not come into our houses. This does have many benefits but two main benefits of this are that you can get indirect light in the day time which will allow you to use indoor lights very less. Secondly your house temperature stays better in the summers. Now, if your house is in the south east and west side make sure you keep the windows on the west side. This is because sun angle is high on this side and less sunlight comes in your house. You can add shades to keep this light out. Houses in the east and west sides get direct sunlight in the morning and evening. So to get rid of direct sunlight you can add full size curtains in your home, or plant a tree in the exterior.
PLACEMENT OF WINDOWS: Architects keep in mind the point of sustainability while designing any house. We all have seen that windows are placed where there is a porch or terrace or places with good outer view. FOR PROPER LIGHT: This point is to be kept in mind. The room where you have to study or read in that room keep the windows on your left side because 99% people write from their right hand so light should come from the left side.
FOR PROPER CROSS VENTILATION: In small houses ventilation we have usually seen ventilation from one side. In such houses architects design a patio for fresh air to circulate in the home. Giving windows on one side will not allow the air to circulate in the whole home. So if you don't have space for windows on both sides what you can do is give window on one side and an exhaust fan on the other side. This is a very simple solution. On the other hand, for big houses you can give windows or water bodies in the patio for keeping the home airy and fresh.
