Healthy Home Design
If you are planning to build a house, do not just pay attention to the shape and material, but the design also note that support healthy living. A healthy home is a house design that supports the health of its inhabitants. The house is quite open, flexible, and easy to maintain. The material used is free from harmful chemicals. Children and parents can access easily and safely to various places in the house.
Of course there are other things that need to be taken to ensure that our homes can be considered a healthy home.
Natural Lighting
Natural light comes from sunlight. The light will illuminate and give warmth previously dark corners. With so prevent damp room. Sunlight is able to kill 80% bacteria and germs that have the potential to grow.
Air Circulation
Smooth circulation of air makes the air inside the house cooler and healthier. Easy exchange of air, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in balance. Try not too low ceiling. Hot air under the roof will be easy on the body, if the ceiling was too low. Minimum ceiling height is 3m from the floor. That way, the hot temperature at the top is not easy on the body.
Water Supply
At least, every single person occupant requires 60 liters of clean water per day. To ensure the provision of water, a house requires a water storage tank (reservoir).
Making water wells must have a sufficient distance from the septic tank hole. Minimal is 3m. If less, it is feared choli bacteria from septic tanks will seep into water wells.
Waste Water Channels
A healthy home is also marked by good sewage systems. Waste bias comes from the kitchen, bathroom, and service area.
Dry wall and floor
Humidity can occur in the walls and floors. This will create a room that tends to wet and become a source of proliferation of germs.
Garbage disposal
Make sure that in making the design of the house there is adequate landfill. Bins should be sufficient to accommodate the amount of daily garbage. There is a cover, and has holes for drainage if the trash was cleaned.
Wells Infiltration
Clean water is increasingly difficult to obtain. Meanwhile, we often let the rain water flushing into the canal city. You can request the architect of your home to provide rain water absorption well in your yard. Minimum by making a whole biopori.
