Constructing a New House, Do this to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution

There are lots of things we need to take into consideration before we start construction of a new house. Like interior design, spacing, ventilation, parking and lot more. 

We often forgot about the indoor air pollution, yes indoor air pollution. As we take many precaution to fight and be save from outdoor air pollution we must need to care about it in our own house. Why not plan to build a house where we can stay free from indoor air pollution.

Well there is a lot of way we can try to reduce the indoor air pollution, but here in this article we are going to discuss how we can take this step at the time of construction of a new house.

Here are three important construction aspect we need to plan at the time of construction in order to prevent or reduce indoor air pollution.

3 Way to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution

1 Improve Ventilation 

2 Proper Exhaust

 

3 Dilution Ventilation

1 Improve Ventilation

Usually the most effective way to improve indoor air quality is to provide proper ventilation.

Ventilation solve most of the indoor air pollution problem at certain level by opening windows and doors at each room, which remove containment directly from the room and increases the outdoor air ventilation rate. Most home include heating and cooling system which forced air heating that mechanically do not bring fresh air into the house

It is important to take as many of these steps as possible at the time of construction itself. 

Now a days advanced design of homes are starting to feature mechanical system that bring outdoor air into home.

2 Proper Exhaust

Another approach to lowering the concentration of indoor air pollution in your home is to give proper Exhaust.

Kitchen involve in short-term activities that can generate high level of pollutants - for example cooking, heating with kerosene heaters etc. In case of bathrooms same issue is seen.

Exterior exhaust fans should be installed in all bathrooms and kitchens. These fan remove humidity and carbon monoxide. The most effective fans are quite durable that operate and exhaust to outdoors.

3 Dilution Ventilation

what is dilution ventilation? Dilution ventilation address the entire living space. Air change ( exchanging indoor air with outdoor air) which help in determine the effectiveness of dilution.

Air change is the result from the combination of natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. There are several types of heating and cooling system with filtration that can be installed to accomplish this. In which the most common is duct sealing.

The goal is to provide sufficient changes to ensure a healthu environment.

These are the important steps that we must need to take at the time of construction of any building, in order to reduce indoor air pollution.
