Sri Lanka being a tropical country close to the equator, is very hot and humid. How would a hybrid house made from containers control the temperature? The exterior of the container is painted with Marine paint which reflects the sunlight and keeps the heat to a minimum level. Also a 50mm thick insulation foam is fixed to the internal panel which is further covered with gypsum board. The insulation increases the thermal efficiency/resistance and ensures internal temperature below 28c. Moreover containers have ventilation points. These are also being effectively used to reduce the heat within the container.
