What to Do If the Container House Is Hot

The stuffiness in container houses can be addressed through methods such as physical cooling, personal protection, proper ventilation, material selection and configuration, optimizing window and door designs, and paying attention to detail handling.

Physical cooling: Wrap the outer layer of the container with thermal insulation materials, akin to putting on a 'sunscreen coat', which can effectively block external heat from entering. If possible, install industrial air coolers to rapidly lower the indoor temperature. Alternatively, drill holes at the top of the container, fix a frame, and install thermal insulation panels. This method can block about 80% of the heat. For example, there is a popular Douyin renovation case where the refrigeration unit of a refrigerated container was removed and transformed into a mobile home, achieving both thermal insulation and the convenience of mobility.

Personal protection: Use personal protective gear such as cooling vests and ice sleeves. These items can lower the perceived body temperature by 5 - 8 degrees, providing some relief from the stuffiness, especially for those working inside container houses.

Proper ventilation: Specifically reserve ventilation channels to ensure air circulation. Set up air-conditioned rest pavilions to provide a cool resting environment for personnel. At the same time, personnel must be rotated every 2 hours to avoid prolonged work in confined spaces, which can lead to oxygen deficiency after 4 - 5 hours.

Material selection and configuration: Choose 7.5-centimeter-thick color-steel rock wool panels. These materials have a low thermal conductivity coefficient, slowing down heat transfer and providing good thermal insulation. Additionally, installing air conditioners is also a good option. Air conditioners can not only provide cooling and heating but also have dehumidification functions. After being turned on for about half an hour, the interior of the house can become cool.

Optimizing window and door designs: Use double- or triple-glazed windows, which can effectively block heat transfer. Install sealing strips around the edges of windows and doors to reduce heat leakage through gaps, further improving the thermal insulation performance of the container house.

Paying attention to detail handling: At the joints and connections of thermal insulation materials, use appropriate sealing materials to prevent heat from entering the interior through these areas. At the junctions between the thermal insulation layer and the container structure, adopt professional construction methods and materials to ensure tightness and structural stability, avoiding exacerbation of stuffiness due to poor sealing or structural issues.
