Creating a Healthy Home
It starts with indoor air quality, clean and uncluttered designs, calming colors, thermal and acoustic peace. These things are important as we spend more than 80% of our time indoors.
Designing for Health
So much of our health depends on how healthy our homes and buildings are. Home design and maintenance for instance, are key to reducing stress, improving sleep and enhancing cognitive functions.
IMPACTS OF HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS
- Reduced Respiratory Issues
- Improved Cognitive Function and Productivity
- Lowered Risk of Cardiovascular and Neurological Diseases
- Improved Immune System Function
- Better Sleep and Reduced Stress
CREATING
HEALTHY HOMES
IDENTIFY THE SYMPTOMS
There are so many factors that contribute to healthy interior environments – from paints, to cleaning products, furnishings to floorings, ventilation and humidity, as well as heating and cooling.
Interior environmental quality is important for our health and wellbeing. Home health solutions may include clean air and water, routine cleaning, daylighting, thermal comfort, reduced noise pollution, no clutter and waste management.
Implement these Prescriptions
Improve Indoor Air Quality
-
- Install high-efficiency air filtration (e.g., MERV 13 filters or higher) to reduce pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and allergens.
- Provide better ventilation to minimize carbon dioxide (CO₂) buildup, which can cause fatigue, headaches, and impaired cognitive function by opening windows.
- Use low VOC paints, natural flooring where possible and minimal carpeting. Install cabinets and furnishings that carry ECO or Green Labels.
Preventative Home Health
Improve Thermal Comfort
-
- Reduce environmental exposures linked to cardiovascular issues, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Clean and Disinfect
-
- Use disinfection methods to reduce airborne pathogens, thereby lowering the risk of respiratory infections like colds, flu, and even COVID-19.
Adjust Lighting and Humidity
-
- Lower humidity to improve sleep quality.
- Improve daylight exposure and circadian lighting systems to help regulate sleep-wake cycles and reduce stress levels.
Sensory Engagement
-
- Incorporate natural light, natural sounds, and textured, natural materials that engage multiple senses to evoke a sense of peace and connection.
- Include organic and artistic aesthetics to foster sustainability and well-being.
