South Sudan's climate and architectural characteristics make the honeycomb-shaped "Tukker" huts ideal for installing ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators). This traditional building,
featuring a frame of twisted branches and a thatched roof, offers the following adaptability features:
Climate Adaptability
South Sudan has a tropical savanna climate, characterized by year-round high temperatures and distinct rainy and dry seasons. While thatched roofs provide shade and ventilation,
they lack airtightness, necessitating ventilation equipment to regulate the hot and humid air. ERVs achieve energy-saving ventilation through heat exchange, meeting the needs of the
local high-temperature and high-humidity environment.
Architectural Adaptability
The honeycomb-shaped frame of the "Tukker" huts is formed from intertwined branches, creating a complex internal structure. The forced-in ventilation design of
tunnel-specific fans (such as the SDF model) allows fresh air to be evenly distributed throughout the building through wind strips, eliminating the problem of dead spots in traditional ventilation.
Functional Scalability
Incorporating the Mundari tribe's tradition of using cow dung for disease prevention, ERVs can incorporate air purification functions to filter dust and odors generated by livestock activities, improving living hygiene.
We recommend choosing ERV equipment with the following features:
High-temperature resistant design (suitable for environments below 80°C)
Low-noise operation (to avoid disrupting tribal life)
Modular installation (adaptable to tree frame structures)
