Healthy indoor climate
¿What is it and how can you improvement it?
Did you know that we spend up to 90% of our time indoors? A healthy indoor environment is not a luxury but a necessity. Without proper air quality, issues like fatigue, headaches, and even allergies can arise. That’s why ensuring optimal indoor air is essential for both your well-being and that of your family. With smart solutions, you can significantly improve your home's climate.
How is harmful indoor air created?
The inhabitants of a home directly influence its indoor climate. Everyday activities such as breathing, cleaning, or cooking can affect air quality. When discussing poor indoor air, it is important to consider the three main pollutants:
- Excess CO2: High CO2 levels indicate poor air quality in the home and the need for ventilation. While CO2 itself is not dangerous, its buildup can cause health issues such as headaches, fatigue, and worsened asthma attacks. An effective CO2 monitor will help you track the concentration of this gas in your home.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Odors: VOCs are found in products such as paints, cleaners, and aerosols, among others. These compounds infiltrate our spaces and significantly degrade air quality. In fact, they are responsible for indoor air being up to five times more polluted than outdoor air.
-
Air Humidity: Did you know that everyday activities like cooking, washing, or even breathing can generate up to 10 liters of moisture per day? If this moisture gets trapped indoors, it can cause condensation, eventually leading to mold growth. This not only affects your home but also your health, making it something you’ll definitely want to prevent..
Improving Indoor Climate in 3 Key Areas
How to Prevent Polluted Air from Staying in Your Home? The key is to remove it as quickly as possible. Ventilation is the first essential step to achieving a healthy indoor climate. Below, we have listed the available options to do so:
Air quality
Good air quality is probably the most crucial factor in ensuring a healthy indoor climate. A reliable ventilation system will keep the air in your home in optimal conditions at all times. Renson® offers various efficient solutions for ventilating your home.
Window Ventilators
With window ventilators, you can ensure a constant and natural flow of fresh air in your home, even in dry areas like living rooms and bedrooms.
Ventilation System
We spend 90% of our time indoors, and although it may seem surprising, indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor air. By installing a mechanical ventilation system in your home, you can ensure that the air you breathe indoors is as fresh and healthy as the air you would enjoy on a relaxing walk through the forest.
Indoor Temperature
Temperature has a great impact on the indoor climate. While very hot summers or extremely cold winters may not be directly felt inside the home, it’s important to maintain a constant indoor temperature, ideally between 19 and 22°C. Effective solar protection can help control the temperature inside the home throughout the year, even in homes with large windows..
Solar Protection with Brise Soleil
Are you looking to control direct light and solar heat, or perhaps add more privacy with a special aesthetic touch? With sun protection in the form of a "brise soleil," you can achieve everything you need right away. This solar protection system is installed on the exterior of the home, becoming the perfect statement for your home's facade.
Exterior Blinds
They integrate perfectly into the facade, provide complete freedom of use, and most importantly, control the indoor temperature. Custom exterior blinds are key to maintaining comfort in your home during hot summers. Add this effective solar protection to your project and experience the difference for yourself.
Noise
A third key factor for a pleasant and healthy indoor climate is noise. No one likes to relax on the sofa with a good book only to have street noise or household equipment disrupt their peace. That’s why we ensure that our ventilation systems operate extremely quietly. You can also choose acoustic or sound-absorbing window ventilators. This way, you can enjoy fresh air in your home without the annoying noises from outside.
