CREATE HOUSE ROOF ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY

The roof of a house currently experiencing a shift, rather than supporting the aesthetic aspects of the home, or reflect the character of the inhabitants of much less effort to maintain regional character, but is thicker now consider aspects of "efficiency and minimalist".
And has been proven and tested traditional roof (material, shape, and construction) are responding to the violence of nature. If we refer to the earthquake that knocked down many buildings, one of casuallity aspect by choice and form of the roof of the building. To minimize damage caused by the earthquake, select the form of roof-friendly to the environment.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTION
Function to protect the building from the aspect under heat and rainfall, roof forms should be wider than the shape of the building underneath. The principle is not always true because the large form is more severe. Which must be applied on a roof is a large, lightweight, and do not form the roof of the building beneath a burden.
Choice of natural materials (clay for the tiles, fibers / boards for the roof mesh) better reflect the actual environmental friendliness compared to the material "concrete" seen from the aspect of heat absorption is better for hot areas.

MAINTENANCE ASPECTS
The roof should be easy to maintain, as easy to clean, repair, to replacement of damaged tile materials, must be done quickly, easily and efficiently without having to dismantle the whole and bring experts.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
To avoid the use of hot areas which cause the hot roof on the house itself and its environment, because the metal material selection will increase the environmental temperature during the day. Noise due to the material choice is also a special consideration to aspects of residential roofs, such as noise during the rainy season.
