A healthy home is a dream of all people. But, what exactly is the definition of a healthy home? Healthy home is a house that could give comfort to its occupants. Not only comfort is obtained, but also a healthy and clean atmosphere.
Then, what kind of houses that can be said as healthy? Many people think, the healthy home is the house that is cleaned frequently. Apparently it does not guarantee the realization of basic healthy house because the main house is a house that has a healthy circulation of air (ventilation) and good lighting system.
House ventilation has many functions. The main function is to keep the air flow inside the house is still fresh. This means the balance of oxygen needed by the occupants of the house remain intact. Lack of ventilation will cause a lack of oxygen in the home, which means the carbon content of a toxic oxidation increases so dangerous for the occupants.
The second function is to liberate rather than room air ventilation of these bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria that tend to survive and thrive in a room with high humidity. With good circulation, the bacteria will be carried by air will always flow.
Healthy home also need enough light, not less and not too much.
Lack of light that comes into the room house, especially the less comfortable in addition to sunlight, is also the media or a good place to live and the development of germs. Conversely too much light in the house will cause glare and can ultimately damage the eye. Light in healthy home can be classified into two, namely natural light (sunlight) and artificial lighting. Sunlight can enter the house through a window. So, the windows also play an important role in this regard. In making the window, you should take into account the sun. It can also be directly entered into the room. Function window here, in addition to ventilation as well as the entrance of light. Window placement location must also be taken to ensure that old sun shining on the floor (rather than illuminates the wall). Then that window should be in the middle height of the wall.
Beside these two basic things before, there are other supporting factors are also important to support the creation of a healthy home. Those factors include neighborhood factors that are also healthy and conducive to the availability factor and sewage systems, both of garbage, dirty water and bathroom waste is good too.
