Is this accurate? 1. Indeed, those who have previously lived in a west-facing home and are aware of the challenges often seek to avoid repeating the experience, especially when considering a long-term stay of five years or more. 2. It's common sense that on a sunny day, from the afternoon until the evening, the walls, having absorbed heat, can radiate it back into the home, making it uncomfortably warm even as late as 7:30 pm. Not everyone can afford to run the air conditioning throughout the evening. 3. Nowadays, many school children attend classes in the morning and return home by noon, while adults may spend their day in air-conditioned offices. The children are left to endure a hot and sweaty environment at home, which is hardly conducive to studying, especially when the air conditioning cannot be used all day due to the high cost of electricity for many families. 4. This can also impact the resale value. Many young homeowners, during their first resale home viewing, have encountered owners who turn on the air conditioning to conceal the heat. Consequently, these young couples experience a rude awakening upon receiving the keys to their new home, finding themselves in a residence akin to a sweltering greenhouse. 5. Perhaps individuals in the West Group could consider evaluating the suitability of homes facing northeast, among other orientations. 6. It's also wise to consider the effects of UV rays on a person. The good news for Chinese individuals is the presence of "yellow skin pigments," while Malays and Indians have brownish skin tones. Darker skin is known to offer better protection against skin cancer. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays, such as from the afternoon sun, can lead to long-term effects on our eyes, like cataracts, which may become more pronounced with age if one is frequently exposed.
