When it comes to a luxury home, air quality isn’t often the first thing that springs to mind; however, having good quality air in the home can be key to having a happy, healthy and ultimately high quality life. One study conducted by the Office of the Surgeon General found that US home air quality is generally low, and is linked to a wide range of lifetime health impacts. Creating rarefied air within your home is a good way to benefit your health and to give visitors the impression that you live in an oasis of quality and vitality.
Air filtering
The easiest first step is to choose good air filters for your home. This is great for older properties and even new builds that haven’t picked out the latest building standards – something to be touched on later. This doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavor, either. The latest standards in air filter combine good quality filtering with green-positive tech, meaning they are often the subject of government subsidies and air filter discount codes as authorities and manufacturers seek to widen their consumer base. This means luxury at lower costs. With the EPA focusing closely on air grants and funding to improve air quality across the country, you can be sure that your effort is making indoor and outdoor air better, improving all-round quality of life.
Quality of technology
As important as the mechanical technology is the type of filtering you opt for. As a minimum, HEPA-enabled filters will keep your air clean. However, as a new generation of bio and smart tech powered filters come to the market, this may be liable to change. You should target the most emerging technology – this will give your home that highly desirable future tech edge, as well as giving true results in terms of the air quality within the home – and in a way that’s future-proofed.
The walls of the home
As outlined by an influential 1986 study, building materials have long been known to be indoor air polluters; improved materials are often better for the health of those in the home. Today, the latest residential claddings are breathable (in a way that defeats mold), sustainable and secure – they don’t shed particulates that can make the air quality worse again. If you have the opportunity to build a new home, once again you can place tech at the heart of everything you’re doing. Opt for new-age materials and building claddings, and apply them in a forward-thinking and progressive manner. Your home will benefit, and you’ll retain that luxury feel.
Air quality is an overlooked quality of the home, and the simple introduction of plants and air filters can provide a much better quality of life. However, smart tech is leading the way to make wholesale changes. Through advanced air con, filtering and building materials, you can safeguard a luxurious, clean air future.
