can be divided into three segments-Yamuna

 INSULATION
Good insulation is necessary in any building, but it’s essential when building
in subtropical climates. If the building isn’t insulated properly, the high
levels of humidity and moisture can lead to rot and mold that degrade the
wall structure.  Thermal bridging can occur as well due to higher subtropical
temperatures. High heat causes studs to expand along with the surrounding
materials, creating a path for heat conduction. Continuous insulation
prevents this thermal bridging from occurring and serves as an additional
barrier to moisture.
 WALLS &
WINDOWS
Although the sunny weather in this climate is something to enjoy, the sun
can also cause severe damage to a building’s windows and walls. Porches
are common in the South because they provide a barrier of shade that
protects walls and windows from direct sunlight. High winds that
accompany subtropical storms can damage windows as well. Installing high-
impact rated windows and doors help protect against wind and moisture
damage when these storms arrive.
 FLOORING
In addition to damaging walls and windows, water can cause damage
to flooring. Carpeting is particularly susceptible to water damage and
mildew because it holds on to moisture more than other materials like wood,
tile, and concrete.  Consider using water resistant materials wherever
possible, such as tiles, which have the added advantage of being cooler than
carpet when heat becomes oppressive.
