It's the worst feeling to be uncomfortable because of a leaky, drafty building. And it's no fun being sick because of poor indoor air quality due to dust and mold.
What makes for a healthy and comfortable building?
Comfortable temperature is 21 degrees Celsius / 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with approx. 50% relative humidity.
Your head and feet feel the same temperature within about 5 degrees.
You have 30 m3 of fresh air every hour per person - or about 18 ft3 per minute (cfm) per person.
Ventilation is constant in all living and working spaces, including exhaust spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.
Super insulated, air tight structures with excellent windows and doors require less energy to heat and cool, and stay at a more consistent temperature.
