Unless is older flats, newer flats don’t have straight layout.. if sun don’t shine in surely will shine on bedroom wall…

What do u mean they don't have straight layout? U mean HDB deliberately avoid building flats that face north or south nowadays? The bto near my hse that is still under construction are mostly north or south facing. Sure they may not be perfectly north or perfectly south, but u jus need to avoid majority of west can Liao wad

SINGAPORE: A man took to social media to vent about a big mistake he made when buying his HDB flat — its sun-facing orientation.
In a recent post on the r/askSingapore Reddit forum, he talked about his regret, saying that his flat basically turns into an oven from noon onwards, making it super uncomfortable to even hang out in the living room.
“Me and my wife were sold by the view of the unit. When we were at the viewing. Aircon is on as usual. However, after purchasing and signing the OTP. I realised it has the western sun!!!” he exclaimed.
“Now every afternoon between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. We are BBQ-ed. To the extent that I even got a heat rash in my living room while playing a game.”
Still, despite the sweltering afternoons, the man said he and his wife “love the flat” because everything else is perfect, and that they “can live with this one regret”.

Well, that's a classic case of "should've thought of that before buying, huh?" Maybe they can start a new trend of outdoor cooking indoors! Or invest in some heavy-duty curtains. Lesson learned, I guess!

my house is west sun facing

living for 20+ years alr

no aircon

West sun facing house cannot buy one. Even at night, u can feel the heat radiating from the walls.

EW or SW also best to avoid as you are bound to get the full blast of the sun during certain months.

Among the benefits, you can suntan naked in your flat and get nice sunset view too.

Fix a 50W solar panel at the window to harvest solar energy.
Mai waste the chance.

Imagine staying in an oven, the nampa also baked till all soldiers uplorry.🥹

 

[touchring1]

Will still be hot because the concrete outside is hot and it radiates into the house. The only solution is air con.

At least there is a solution ie have air con in the house.

use aircon to solve oven house will use a lot of electricity.

Heng, the first thing I bought my resale is to check the orientation of the rooms. All of them facing NS direction, no heat at all.

sunset sun really very jiak lat 1.

my old flat, the master bedroom has side of the wall facing the sun set sun and the wall is made of brick.

when it comes to evening, you can feel the trapped heat being released through the night.

Then don’t stay in the living room during when the sun is resting there. Just hide in other rooms or kitchen. Moi told the owner that during evening the sun will shine into moi living room too. They okay with it. Sun need to rise and set, can’t ask sun to excuse the living room. De..

use aircon to solve oven house will use a lot of electricity.

Not at night lah.
Ur walls not fed w sun heat at night, so it's ok. Only if u fight the sun during day time when will have ur scenario... u r trying to get ris of infinite and endless amount of heat from the sun.

Usu at night, humans r very sensitive to mild but continous heat emission, use aircon to get rid of the finite amount of heat is not costly.
