Dark color will absorb heat between 70-90% of the total solar radiation

solar radiationOne thing that you can consider to make your house more elegant is the color of your wall paint outdoors.

Wall of a dark color will absorb heat between 70-90% of the total solar radiation that hit the area. Some of this heat would go into the house by way of conduction in the wall that would lead to heat inside the house. This would increase the energy needed to cool the room up to 20%.

The bright colors will reflect most of the rays and heat away from your home. The color is not necessarily white, but a green or blue color is good that is more bright color.

Wall with vines can also protect the wall from the heat by putting blocks sunlight and reflected it in advance. Select vines that is easy to care.

Even the smallest contribution will continue to conserve our energy and improve the environment.
