Homes Can Provide Healthy Conditions

Avoid harmful chemicals

  • Paint
  • Flooring
  • Cabinets

Building systems & equipment promote clean air and water

  • HVAC
  • Filters
  • Ventilation
  • Hot water heaters

Construction avoids ‘conditions” linked to poor health (asthma)

  • Radon
  • Moisture
  • Pests
  • Cold or heat
  • Carbon monoxide

Conditions promote healthier living

  • Lighting
  • Acoustics
  • Encourage active living
  • Minimize trip/falls
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Avoid Harmful Materials

PAINT ADHESIVES FLOORING WOOD PRODUCTS, LIKE CABINETS READILY AVAILABLE, DOES NOT ADD SIGNIFICANT COST.

Poor Ventilation Can Increase Health Risks

  • Higher rates of respiratory irritation and

illness in housing with poor ventilation –Common colds –Influenza –Pneumonia –Bronchitis

  • VOCs 2-5 times greater

inside than outside

Home systems promote clean air

Does the bath fan work? Exhaust outside? New fans are quiet, and can run automatically

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Ventilate kitchens

Remove moisture, odors, grease Gas oven/range, remove combustion products: moisture, CO, NO2 Vent to outside Make it quiet. If not, fans may not be used

  • Installation of

HRV/ERVs associated with fewer asthma respiratory symptoms

  • 3 studies – all controlled

trials with at-risk children or children with asthma

  • Studies also observed

improvements in CO2, VOCs, and airborne mold

HRV/ERVs

Green office environments linked with higher cognitive function scores”

  • crisis response (97% higher scores in green conditions

and 131% higher in green+)

  • strategy (183% and 288% higher)
  • information usage (172% and 299% higher)
  • when researchers looked at the effect of CO2—not

normally thought of as a direct indoor pollutant—they found that, for seven of the nine cognitive functions tested, average scores decreased as CO2 levels increased to levels commonly observed in many indoor environments

Monetized Healt lth Benefits of EE

“Monetized benefits for

  • bserved occupant health

improvements and reduced healthcare use exist at the national level, and are being considered in some state energy program cost- effectiveness decisions, with values over $1000 per household unit per year.”
