Air Conditioning in Montuïri

A terraced house is usually protected on two sides by its neighbours, which is most of why terraces are comfortable. On a hill village with nothing above it, that protection stops at the party walls: the roof is fully exposed, both ends catch the sun at some point in the day, and there is nothing tall enough nearby to cast a shadow. Tell us which rooms are difficult and at what hour, and it goes on.

Terraced, but not sheltered

The two party walls do their job: they are shared with houses at the same temperature, so almost nothing crosses them. Everything else is exposed. The roof takes sun from morning to evening, the street elevation takes it at one end of the day and the rear at the other, and neither gets relief from a neighbouring building because the village sits on top of its hill.

The practical result is that the load in these houses is concentrated at the top and at the two ends, and almost absent in the middle. That is a useful thing to know before spending, because it means capacity belongs in specific rooms rather than spread through the house.

The compensation is the wind. A hill village catches whatever breeze there is, so the evenings recover well and a house that can be opened up at both ends does a great deal for itself. That is worth preserving in how a system is used rather than replacing.

Where the load sits in these houses

  • Under the roof, which is exposed for the entire day
  • At the street end, at whichever time of day it faces the sun
  • At the rear end, at the opposite time of day
  • Almost nowhere in the middle, which is shared on both sides
  • Less at night than expected, because the hill catches the breeze

Is a terraced house easier to cool?

Partly. The shared walls contribute almost nothing to the load, which helps a great deal. What a hill village removes is the shading a neighbouring building would otherwise give the roof and the ends, so the parts that are exposed are more exposed than they would be lower down.

Where should the outdoor unit go?

Usually the roof or the rear, because the street elevation of a village house is rarely the right place and often not permitted. The roof works well here provided it can be reached safely for servicing and the unit is not simply standing in the sun it is trying to reject heat into.
