Creating Health House; No Need To Waste Much Money
Yuk makes House So Healthy!
Strive for building houses have air circulation and natural lighting are sufficient openings so as to provide access to air and sunlight into the room.
The width of openings natural lighting must comply with design standards, such as the measurement window width about 20 percent of floor area or even the use of glass tile, glass block and transparent fiber to maximize natural lighting in the bathroom and reducing the potential for dark places as a hotbed for mosquitoes.
Openings in the house also serves for the circulation of air in the room.
A healthy home is a house that still has a home page and not the entire width is used as an enclosed space so that it becomes dark and claustrophobic.
Furniture until Gutters
In addition to the importance of openings as air circulation and sunlight driveway, what else needs to be taken to ensure the home meets the criteria of a healthy home? Here are a few:
Furniture Placement
Home design and composition of the laying of furniture (furniture) that one can also make difficult the air and light into the house, so the house went dark and stuffy. “Sometimes we impose furniture that is not enough or fit with the area home,” said Toton.
However, today people are more accustomed to the lifestyle in a compact and versatile compact. So, no need to display furniture in the space of a relatively small / narrow. “In addition to making the room seem more cramped, inappropriate furniture arrangement can also cause a gap that could be dust or mosquito breeding places.” Therefore, Toton suggests recommend choosing furniture or make appropriate spatial scale of the room.
Need for Parks
Houses should have a garden, not just in the front yard but can also in-house (vertical garden.) “The existence of these parks will ensure the entry of sunlight or air circulation,” said Toton. Of particular interest is gardening when considering the direction of the sun. Ideally, the park is in the direction toward which came to light, in order to ensure the park becomes more bright and healthy. In Jakarta, for example, is ideal direction toward the north or south, because it will receive sunlight better.
Gutter Water Must Correct
Guttering often make unhealthy homes due to the stagnant water. As a result, guttering became a nest of mosquitoes. According to Toton, planning and making the right gutter must take into account the factor of slope and direction of the room. “When it comes to environmentally friendly building design (green architecture), guttering useful accommodate and channel the water into the soil, then water the rain that fell before reuse (recycle).
Thus, the use of guttering is correct, it’s just the design or how to install it must be true, do not let it be a place of stagnant water. Guttering could use some materials, such as concrete or gutters ready to use. “Dak concrete better, but the important thing is the slope and direction of the house / room,” said Toton.
Low Ceiling Problems
What about the ceiling height? “Some say, low ceiling is not good, but actually not really. Low-ceiling height does not directly affect health, all around the walls of the room there are enough openings for air circulation and light.
Ideally, the area of openings is 20 percent of the total wall space, “said Toton. So, he continued, does not mean unhealthy home ceiling. “Low allowed, but there must be enough openings.”
