The past few nights have been really hot. My bedroom is like a hot oven. Normally, I could sleep with the fan switched to level one and got up in the morning with a leg cramp because it was too cold.
The noon temperature in downtown Kuala Lumpur was 40 degrees C. Just like Mekah or Madinah in Saudi Arabia! Our trip to PJ for lunch left us dehydrated and exhausted.
I am told that it is the South West Monsoon that is causing the heat wave. And it is expected to last until September.God help us.Our electric bill is going to escalate because we can no longer sleep without the air conditioners.
If our home which is normally cool is now hot, what about those people whose houses are normally hot? Perhaps it is time to design more environment friendly and cooler homes and not make more heat sinks. Time to read more on green buildings.

Yahhh.... crazy hot weather. How to have a green building? add more plants? Would it help?
Ya, planting plants and trees is a good way to promote greenness as plants produces oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and give shade.
Check out my blog notes on 11 Feb 2009, I touched on green buildings in my ideal environment friendly home.
Malaysia has also come up with a Green Building Index. Came out in the papers recently.
