Indoor environment quality
Does your home meet healthy temperature guidelines? Do you notice condensation indoors? Do you have mould growing on ceilings, walls or inside wardrobes? Is the air inside your home healthy?
As a sustainable home, a HomeSmart home:
- Stays a stable even temperature by retaining heat through insulation and double glazing
- Uses efficient space heaters which are affordable and low emissions
- Never uses unflued gas heaters
- Spreads heat to bedrooms through heat transfer systems
- Ventilates kitchens and bathrooms to get rid of cooking and bathing moisture
- Covers the ground under-floor to prevent moisture rising into the house
- Includes passive ventilation to allow a healthy change of air
- Uses efficient ventilation technologies only if required
- Prioritises products and materials which are rated as safe
