Malaysia has a hot climate all year round, and air conditioning has become almost a necessity for family life. Many homeowners have found that even if they keep the air conditioning on for a long time, the indoor environment remains stuffy and hot, while electricity bills continue to rise. In fact, the thermal insulation performance of doors and windows plays a key role in energy conservation and electricity cost control.
1、 The impact of doors and windows on indoor temperature
In Malaysian residences, windows that receive direct sunlight are the main pathway for heat to enter the interior. If the insulation capacity of doors and windows is insufficient, the indoor temperature will rapidly rise, and the burden of air conditioning will also increase.
Especially in cities such as KL and Penang, high-rise residential buildings are exposed to sunlight for longer periods of time.
2、 Why are ordinary doors and windows not energy-efficient?
Ordinary single-layer glass doors and windows are difficult to block heat conduction, and in high temperature environments, hot air will continue to enter the room, causing the air conditioner to operate for a long time.
In contrast, energy-saving aluminum alloy doors and windows in Malaysia usually use insulation profiles and special glass configurations, which are more suitable for the local climate.
3、 Core configuration of energy-saving and heat-insulating doors and windows
If you want to lower the indoor temperature, you can focus on the following configurations:
Insulated bridge cut aluminum profiles reduce heat conduction
Low-E or double-layer glass, reflecting some thermal energy
High sealing structure design to prevent hot air from infiltrating
Reasonable door and window orientation design to reduce direct sunlight impact
These configurations have been applied in many residential properties in Malaysia.
4、 Are energy-saving doors and windows worth investing in?
Although energy-saving doors and windows have a slightly higher initial investment, they can effectively reduce air conditioning operating time, lower electricity costs, and improve living comfort in long-term use.
For long-term self occupied families, this is an upgrade with long-term returns.
