Eco-home philosophy


In recent years, "eco-home" style has gradually spread from all over the world, a new concept of green decoration, home has become synonymous with fashion. Eco-home contains several basic conditions just like : sound, light, water, geology, green rate, resilience and other natural environment, ventilation, sunshine, light, air cleanliness, temperature, humidity, building materials, decorating material, construction technology and other indoor space environment. According to ecological indicators, which should be kept at room temperature throughout the year at 17 ℃ to 27 ℃, relative humidity 40% to 70%.

◆ Pattern of adverse health
Our body needs to maintain its constant renewal and vigor, ventilation in the "home ecosystem" is to play the role of respiration, but the pattern of improper ventilation design will produce the opposite effect to our health.
There is room in the indoor air temperature can promote the flow, which shares the flow of air can bring fresh oxygen to the outside world, would be harmful indoor residual gas disperses, filled with dirty shoes, shoe, poor ventilation, wardrobe, etc. , so the furniture placement is reasonable, this will affect the human body's health.
In order to ensure better air in the room, the plants, lighting, furniture and other furnishings must pay attention to science, so that each object has a certain space and create an environment conducive to healthy "eco-home" environment.
Some countries such as China has a saying called "bed" is in the body of a chronic sleep damage caused by improper ventilation pattern of the problem may be one of the reasons. To the bathroom, for example, close the bathroom from the bed, the air humidity is too large or has been contaminated indoor air ventilation, but the quality is even worse, into "the wind is not the net," the dilemma, in which polluted air, rest, health effects can be imagined.
Similarly, living room furniture, stereo, gas stove as well as inside and outside the media room walls, doors and windows can form a small room climate.
 
◆ Easily overlooked, invisible killer
Health is a "home ecosystem" to solve the basic problem. Home decoration is also possible to eliminate toxic and harmful substances, conscious use of green building materials, but, who knows the family, there are some invisible source could polluting it.
Look at all the family fabric, sofa sets, carpets, wallpaper, and even we are pushing the green plants, the plants nourish the soil and also nourish the numerous harmful insects mites, a long invisible killer lurking at home. Many modern sub-health status, are likely to be due to a long life in such an environment.
Home is a relatively closed space, air flow is very limited space, all the filth of the corner of the room will eventually evolve into a source of pollution, and thus bring disaster to the family's health. Also to the bathroom, for example, when fitting in order to save the budget to buy cheap ceramic tile, sanitary ware, the surface covered with gas and particles eyes, poor ventilation in the long, warm moist environment, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, these mildew and the flow spreading, causing the entire room contaminated.

Such as wood decoration, although the "return to nature", to bring people to environmental protection, green home to enjoy, but increase the intensity of tree harvesting, but contrary to "protect the ecology". Eco-home people-oriented, not only to provide people with healthier, more comfortable home environment, but also take into account the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, taking into account the control of natural resources use, is a natural balance between man and the world! Eco-home will be more use of artificial, composite and other recycled materials, focus on now, but also to look to the future.
