Knowing how air enters the space and how the building elements manage its quality is foundational in nurturing a healthy and eco-friendly structure. The objectives are to create cleaner buildings, help humans be healthier and make the planet a better place. Here are several things builders should keep in mind when going green in design and construction.
Air pollution is an ongoing concern, especially smog in major cities and buildings that work in polluting industries. Green structures mitigate the adverse effects of toxic particulates in the air.
Removing the existing pollutants will not entirely fix the issue — it is more about consistent maintenance than a one-time cleaning. Creating greener structures and ensuring they have excellent indoor air quality acts as preventive care for the building and the planet.
Indoor air quality is a crucial component of eco-friendly construction because it affects every other green aspect of the building, like branches on a tree. It helps keep the green technology, building materials and people inside to obtain optimal health.
