Taniman ang perimeter fence ng Japanese bamboo, abot shade nyan sa 2/F.

i suppose, they're not tall when they are first planted there.
what's the waiting time?

In a year it could reach the 2/F. Watering and maybe some nitrites could hasten growth. Ang maintenance lang yung linisin ang ilalim dahil tinitirhan ng ahas. Nagiging pugad kasi ng ibon esp those maya birds then eventually aagawin ng japanese sparrow. Its so nice to hear the grass scrubbing each when the wind blows, add the sound of chirping birds.

Bakit yung samin never umabot ng 2nd floor height. It's over 10 yrs old na ata

Di ba masyado makalat mga bamboos. Grabe mag shed ng leaves mga bamboo, may clog gutters and drains.

well,
that's the downside for any tree on the property.
our alulods need de-leafing on a regular basis.
but i still like trees on my property.

Aluminium sun shades - merlo

Aluminum sasalo ng sunlight/tapos external air cooling.

Puwede siguro pa sadya sa aluminum shop, tapos per panel install. Gawing typhoon proof.

Maganda malayo allowance sa wall para sa air cooling.

Pang office building, pangit sa residential itsura.

Can anyone make a suggestion? Yung 2nd floor namin is concrete slab yung roof at wall. Now one side of the wall and the roof is absorbing too much heat during day time. Ang resulta mainit sa 2nd floor. I can really feel the temp changing pag umakyat na ko. I thought of putting an air condition on the rooms but it may be half as efficient kung ganito kainit.

We are planning to put a lot 3rd floor this may shield the 2nd floor roof from heat, yung wall na lang ang problem on what we can do so it wouldn't absorb heat so much.

Also the 3rd floor roof, what can we do so it wouldn't absorb heat too and end up with same problem.

how much area (roof, wall) are we talking about?

we put heat shield (styrofoam) in our ceiling, and added breathing holes on the ceiling outside.
it diminished the heat, but it still gets hot during the summer.

our firewall gets uncomfortably hot also, staying that way into the night.
the trees outside keep only the first floor firewall cool; the 2nd and 3rd floor firewall segments get hot.

to effectively prevent the wall from getting hot, i think it has to be a technology-based external barrier. a heat shield.

I noticed in Malaysia most houses use ceramic roofing and they seemed to be a lot cooler than our typical steel roofing.

Aluminum roofing is also cooler but I haven't seen any local contractor using it.

Cost & supply are the challenges.

Might be worth exploring, selling this roofing material to the well off.

I also had this silly idea of installing a sprinkler system on the roof to cool it off.

is it because aluminum is a good conductor of heat?
easy to heat, and easy to cool?

As w/ metals, aluminum is a contact conductor. Unlike other metals, it has great reflective properties.
Try this experiment, doc. Bake Spam in the toaster on a layer of foil. After 20mins on high, bet you can't touch the Spam but the foil, you can.[emoji4]

I'm curious how the spam looks like after 20 mins of baking

In car terms, it could be the house's radiator.

Problem din namin yung slab concrete roof namin na tumatagos ang tubig. We already put a lot into it. Fiber glass na yun? Ilalatag sa roof and tutunawin, also yung parang black tar na naka roll, latag din sa roof and tutunawin. Pero we still have leaks.

Then nung nagagawa father in law ko ng roof nila na concrete slab din, nilagyan nila ng yero na palaman sa loob ng concrete mismo. I wish we knew that bago kami nagpa gawa.

We are planning on adding 3rd floor and we will apply that on the 3rd floor roof.

Slabs won't stand a chance against the elements w/o periodic waterproofing maintenance. That sandwiched metal layer will eventually rust away. You want a perma-solution? Roof your roofdeck.[emoji4]

and that's exactly what we did!
our concrete roof deck would always leak.
we tried everything.
finally, in disgust,
"kuya, lagyan natin ng proper bubong."
problem solved.
