The PASSIVE HOUSE concept and its relationship with health

Before explaining in depth the relationship of the PASSIVE HOUSE concept with health, we are going to remember that it is a house optimized to have an ideal energy efficiency and reduce its consumption as little as possible. We will achieve all this with a correct insulation of the house, a good bioclimatic design, a ventilation system that allows us to recover energy, a good placement of the windows and the control of the tightness.

This home design, the first thing that will benefit us will be in our energy expenditure and therefore in our portfolio. On the other hand, while we help our planet, with the passive house we will achieve many more advantages if we design a good heat recovery system.

By maintaining good air quality thanks to an efficient ventilation system, we gain a lot in health. A system that evacuates excess CO2 and other pollutants. With a PASSIVE HOUSE we achieve a constant flow of air that prevents us from living with interiors that are normally 7 times more polluted than the outside air. All this with the addition that we recover the heat from the air itself so as not to lose usable energy.

Passive houses have air filters to clean the air that comes from outside, quite useful for cities that suffer from pollution problems that are very harmful to our health, once again improved thanks to the PASSIVE HOUSE system . These filters also prevent dust from entering the home, reducing almost to a minimum the particles that can cause allergies, such as those allergic to pollen, who will enjoy a home without allergies.

The benefits of a passive house, apart from energy saving, are many, but we are going to list the main benefits that living in a PASSIVE HOUSE brings us:

One of the greatest advantages of the PASSIVE HOUSE is that they are not affected by humidity, thanks to the materials with which they are built that allow an airtight house with a good ventilation, protecting the health of people with respiratory diseases.

Another important aspect is to know that passive houses are built with a specific orientation with a study of the terrain to design it with the best possible bioclimatism.

A point to take into account in the PASSIVE HOUSE is their ability to insulation, which maintains the temperature of the house and does not lead to the loss of energy from the itself, so it creates a much more comfortable environment for its residents. In addition, it protects not only from external diseases, but also protects against noise pollution in large cities.

And, the last thing we are going to highlight is that in a PASSIVE HOUSE the air is of better quality due to its ventilation system that expels any impurities from the living environment .

As we can see, a PASSIVE HOUSE directly protects the health and well-being of its inhabitants, preventing external agents from residing with them and can cause long-term damage. At the same time, there is energy saving and an environment of comfort and tranquility is created. What more could you want? With the PASSIVE HOUSE they are all advantages.
