Our "energy efficient" sealed up homes create the need for us to be dependent upon air conditioning and of course electricity. Environmental design is not the norm in design. So this of course affects our health long term since most of Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. One step to consider is to let fresh air into the home as much as possible as well as sunshine. The prime times we are able to do this is during mild weather, or we would make our homes uncomfortable. Being comfortable and healthy inside of our homes is an active task!
It takes planning and action but the results in energy savings as well as health are worth it.
Yes the simple way is windows and doors with screens. Another way is an ERV in your home comfort system.
Homes should have a 25% fresh air introduction in the comfort system as well as exhaust to ventilate the structure. For more info contact rick@rlenvirocare.com
