Did you know that, generally speaking, the air quality inside our homes is worse than outdoors? In the awareness that we spend no less than eighty to ninety percent of our time between four walls, the first thing to do to address matters is to check the indoor air quality on a regular basis. If your indoor air climate is less than satisfactory, not to worry: the tips and points below will put paid to --poor indoor air quality once and for all!
A hygrometer tells you the air humidity level inside your home. Ideally this should sit somewhere between 40 and 60 percent. If your indoor climate feels too humid or too dry to your liking, an air dehumidifier or an air humidifier will help.
The ideal room temperature sits somewhere between 19 and 22 °C. If your home is fitted with underfloor heating, 19 to 20 °C will be the most comfortable temperature. If you have radiators, feel free to turn up the thermostat a little: 21 to 22 °C is perfect.
Anyone deciding to build a new home in this day and age will find there is no getting around the strict insulation standards. Which is good news, as a properly insulated home is a lot less expensive in the heating department. Sadly, a well-insulated home does little for your indoor air quality. This is why it is important that you throw your doors and windows wide open at regular intervals or have an efficient ventilation system fitted.
