Fresh Air Dehumidifier for Healthy Housing

With the improvement of living standards, healthy housing is gradually entering society. However, there is still a significant gap between the completed construction of residential buildings and the requirements for healthy housing. To meet these requirements, corresponding system equipment must be added. Residential fresh air system is essential for international healthy housing. What do you know about residential fresh air? This article will provide you with a detailed presentation.

 

What is a healthy home?

Healthy housing is defined as: on the basis of meeting the basic requirements of housing, highlighting health elements, meeting the physiological, psychological, and social needs of residents at multiple levels with the concept of sustainable development of human living health, and creating high-quality healthy, safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly housing for residents.

 

Its direct definition: a living environment reflected in residential areas and neighborhoods, which not only includes physical quantities related to living, which is temperature, humidity, ventilation (fresh air), noise, light, and air quality, but also subjective psychological factors, such as flat space layout, privacy protection, visual landscape, sensory color, material selection. Returning to nature, focusing on health, paying attention to society, preventing diseases caused by housing, creating health, and enhancing interpersonal relationships are the true essence of healthy housing and the development direction of noble housing in the 21st century.

 

What are the basic requirements for residential fresh air?

Residential ventilation should meet hygiene requirements. Continuous and effective ventilation can continuously discharge harmful volatile substances indoors, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and radon, to reduce the concentration of harmful substances indoors and prevent the spread of diseases such as colds, air conditioning sickness, and allergies.

Residential ventilation should meet the requirements of building physics. Excessive humidity or long-term stagnant indoor air can lead to the growth of indoor mold. These molds can damage the building itself and damage furniture, clothing, and other items. Only the continuous flow of fresh air can prevent and avoid this.

 

Whole house dehumidifier with fresh air function

Installing a fresh air dehumidifier in residential areas with a humid environment throughout the year can greatly improve indoor humidity problems. If the ventilation is poor and the residence is located on a backlit surface and prone to humidity indoors, a whole house dehumidifier needs to be installed in the same way. The use of this type of dehumidifier can reduce air conditioning pressure, save energy consumption, promote indoor air circulation, and adsorb particulate matter.

Standards for Healthy Housing

The World Health Organization has established indoor standards for healthy housing, as follows:

1) Try not to use toxic building decoration materials (such as highly volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, radioactive materials, etc.) to decorate the house as much as possible;

2) Indoor carbon dioxide concentration is below 0.10%;

3) Dust concentration below 0.15mg/m³;

4) The indoor temperature remains between 16-28 ℃ throughout the year;

5) Maintain relative humidity at 30% -80% RH;

6) Indoor noise is less than 50dB;

7) Ensure at least 3 hours of sunshine throughout the day;

8) Lighting equipment with sufficient brightness;

9) Have good ventilation and air exchange equipment;

10) Having sufficient per capita building area and ensuring privacy;

11) Having sufficient ability to resist natural disasters;

12) To facilitate the care of the elderly and disabled.

 

How to achieve indoor air standards for healthy housing?

Taking the United States as an example for illustration. The ASHRAE 62.1 standard in the United States specifies the minimum requirements for indoor air quality in buildings, including ventilation, air purification, humidity control, etc., aiming to ensure fresh and healthy indoor air. In addition, ASHRAE has released a series of guidelines and standards for improving indoor air quality, providing scientific guidance and support for the indoor environment of buildings.

 

Basic concepts of fresh air

The main function of fresh air is to solve the pollution generated in daily life, ensure a healthy living space, and improve the quality of life.

Bringing fresh air with high oxygen content is necessary for health.

Adjust indoor temperature and humidity.

Bring the oxygen needed for combustion.

Eliminate toxic gases released during decoration.

Eliminate odors and moisture generated in the kitchen and bathroom.

Solve the problem of insect infestation in indoor clothing and cotton, and linen fabrics. Mold problem.

Effectively preventing chronic diseases, such as allergies, can achieve good preventive effects on airborne diseases.

Effectively prevent air conditioning diseases and other epidemics.

In a room where someone is smoking, it can solve the problem of others being harmed by smoking and the presence of smoke odor indoors.

 

Why not just rely on opening windows to improve indoor air quality?

Opening windows for ventilation and air exchange belongs to natural ventilation, which has a good ventilation and air exchange effect. However, as its function is only controlled by natural forces and there is no artificial control, it also has some negative effects:

Carrying a large amount of dust, which affects indoor cleanliness and hygiene;

Blind wind direction and volume, different rooms have different ventilation effects;

Outdoor noise can be transmitted indoors;

Mess up indoor items;

The vertical shaft in the bathroom may produce an unpleasant odor that can cause flooding;

Opening windows during heating and cooling can cause significant energy loss.

To improve the quality of residential buildings and meet the requirements for fresh air under different conditions, it is necessary to overcome the lack of ventilation and use mechanical ventilation systems.
