Too wet
Excessive humidity in the room air or on the masonry is usually the cause of:

a) Construction defects / structural damage

• Insufficient drying after construction work
• Water ingress due to water pipe damage, flooding, leaking roof, cracked masonry

So make sure you allow sufficient drying time for new buildings or renovation measures. Structural damage or water damage must be repaired.

b) Insufficient removal of humidity from the air

• Incorrect ventilation and heating
• Thermal bridges due to construction defects or construction errors

Important is , that the humidity , which is caused by the activities in the room through regular ventilation is discharged to the outside . For example, in a three-person household through showering, washing, cooking, drying laundry but also through plants, aquariums and other sources of moisture every day 6 to 12 liters of water released .

Too dry
The optimal humidity is not only a feel-good factor, but has also Impact on human health . A lower susceptibility to infectious diseases requires a sufficiently high humidity of at least 30%, preferably 40%. But not only Influenza viruses have a lower survival rate at higher humidity . It has also been confirmed that the symptom of dry eyes or dry nasal mucous membranes improves with higher humidity: Dry room air can irritable and dry lead to mucous membranes . The nose and throat are particularly affected. Bacteria and viruses can penetrate dry mucous membranes more easily and cause inflammation or colds. Nosebleeds can also result.

Tip

Through proper ventilation and heating can the humidity in the inner space limited and be managed . Ideally several times a day for a few minutes each time Intermittent or cross ventilation (Open the window fully or open the opposite window wide). Controlled living room ventilation can also help: it ensures healthy indoor air quality all year round and eliminates excess moisture.

air temperature

comfort

Each of us has a different temperature sensitivity and finds ourselves more comfortable at different temperatures than other people. Nevertheless one should a certain temperature range for a generally comfortable room climate retain :

• Living room: 20 to 23 degrees
• Bedroom: 16 to 18 degrees
• Kitchen: 18 to 20 degrees
• Bath: 20 to 23 degrees
• WC: 16 to 19 degrees

The temperature difference between foot and head height should also be below 4 degrees.
Lowering the temperature at night makes sense from the point of view of saving energy, but this should not exceed 4 to 5 degrees, otherwise the apartment will cool down too much..

heat properly
Which room temperature the „is correct,, depends on various factors: physical activity, age, clothing and diet. With the help of room controllers and thermostatic valves, you can set the temperature for each room individually. If you are not at home, never switch off the heating completely. Maintaining a lowered average temperature is more economical. Also, keep interior doors between differently heated rooms closed during the day and night . For ventilation, it is best to open the window fully several times a day for a few minutes tilted windows are not very effective for ventilation and waste energy .

Long curtains, sofas or desks in front of the radiators impede heat dissipation . Tie or shorten curtains to one side. But: close the curtains at night, the air cushion created between the curtain and the window reduces heat loss .

air ions

The performance particles in the room airft
Like all substances, air consists of molecules. A negatively charged molecule is a negative ion. The more of these ions in the air, the fresher it becomes.. The air in high mountains or near a waterfall, for example, contains a very high number of these air ions . Air enriched with air ions promotes the enrichment of the blood with oxygen, which improves the function of the organs and the nutrients are better burned. The performance increases .

Your ionic climate in the interior

air pollution and exhaust gases destroy the negative ions . Therefore, the number of ions in our cities is often very low or non-existent.
Absolutely avoid smoking in your living quarters : The aerosols from cigarette smoke destroy the air ion climate of a room (apart from the pollutants from cigarette smoke). The same applies to the air ionic climate: air regularly. Every airing regenerates the air ion climate . Also pay attention to low electrostatics in the room due to modern flat screens and plastic surfaces.
New methods make it possible to permanently enrich the room air with ions and can be used indoors.

TheLENDOU air purifier has one ionizer , which the air additionally enriched with ions :

Fresh air

Fresh air is mostly cool, dry air from a non-polluted, natural environment. There should be sufficient fresh air indoors. The carbon dioxide content should be below 0.1% by volume and the fresh air supply should be 20-30 cubic meters per hour and person. For the well-being of humans, the CO₂- content of the air is therefore of great importance . If the concentration of carbon dioxide in a room increases, we become tired and our concentration suffers.
