Healthy Housing is a high-end residential products to pursue. View, require considerable technical support and market base, is not able to manage common development of enterprises and competent. Therefore, the current implementation of healthy residential buildings in Wuhan, is rationality need careful, do not have to bear the consequences with great enthusiasm, then harm the image of a healthy housing market.
If not simply Marketing The concept of healthy housing, but to all aspects of health efforts to do residential, and has basically reached a certain practical results, such homes, even if cost and price are higher than the market average, I think it is worthy of esteem should be and encouraged. To create higher-quality residential products, is bound to increase investment, as long as the appropriate cost-effective, high prices are reasonable.
Local projects, to basically in accordance with the “healthy housing techniques of” implementation seems rare. More is one in which has made some useful attempts, such as drinking water, non-formaldehyde brushing, no radiation Environmental protection Building materials, to provide a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity. Therefore, for the time being not be basically described as healthy and whole house project.
Our “health house” things in recent years, comparison with foreign countries, generally in the collection of basic information, sort out development, the development of technical points of the initial stage, from the development of architectural design, construction, building materials, etc. industry and even the national standard is still some distance from the long-term goals. The current “technical points” only the framework of the list try to “Healthy House” by the efforts of the four main directions to be, still need some time to complete the necessary pilot summed up the qualitative and quantitative work, eventually condenses into technical standards.
Most important health concepts Present, the state advocate for residential real estate companies to build healthy, but there is no mandatory provisions related to binding.
Although since 2004, the National Housing and living environment Project Center that announced the “Healthy Housing Techniques”, house assessment of health can be tracked. But in the process of building houses, whether strictly follow the relevant standards, is still the behavior of real estate companies voluntarily.
Present, in the “profit maximization”, driven by faith, the local housing construction, there are many “unhealthy” content.
In residential planning and design stage, from a health standpoint, to make neighborhoods and cities should be merged as part of the embodiment of urban landscape, while beautifying the view of the city, so residents can enjoy the scenery more. Garden planning, lot of the residential or European, or Chinese as a selling point, increase investment in garden, but ignore the health factor. Rare ornamental trees and then, if there is no shade pavilion, a walkway for morning exercises, exchanges of public space for the neighborhood still is not healthy.
The construction process, should be met ” Building energy efficiency Design Standards “under the premise of using new materials as possible. Healthy Housing is not a synonym for high prices, but a concept should be universal.
In addition, to create healthy homes, should also pay attention to detail. Wuhan, hot summer and cold winter weather, many have begun to focus on indoor and outdoor residential insulation. But one thing to spare the premise of insulation, should also consider indoor air pollution.
Short, healthy housing to build, is a system Chemical industry Process. To universal health housing, the first universal concept. If the vast majority of real estate companies, can stand on the issue of home’s perspective, in order to achieve sustainable development as its mission the building, healthy living, not far away.
Health plan is reasonable Landscape Architecture Planning and Design Institute of Wuhan City Engineer Peng Xiaozhou
Healthy residential construction should be in the environment, community management, and health and environment, play a pioneering example.
Healthy demand for housing residents should proceed to meet their physical and psychological needs, to live in a healthy, safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly indoor and outdoor living environment. Healthy home environment should, district administration, and health environment, play a pioneering example. Residential environment in the district health
building layout should be fully considered reasonable, functional and innovative design landscape district. In the Green Community, we should plan a King four seasons, rich layers of three-dimensional Green pattern of tree, shrub and being reasonable with, if too much plot in trees, then the impact of ventilation and lighting, but if grass to save the cost of light , then the district will reach capacity within the green requirements.
In the selection of landscape plants, native plants should be based, not the blind pursuit of high-end luxury nursery stock, he does not reject the introduction of domesticated plants to adapt to the external environment of Wuhan.
Tree species to choose to effectively clean the air, dirt pollutant, strong function of tree species to improve the environment, especially beneficial to choose with secretions and volatile species such as pine and cypress, to benefit human health. Selection of tree species, we must pay attention to bony, non-toxic, harmless, to avoid physical and psychological harm children living area, but also pay attention to selecting a small pest-resistant species of extensive management.
When choosing flowering plants, carefully chosen over the species of pollen, the pollen concentration in the spring in the air relatively large portion of the population prone to allergic reactions. Carefully selected trees can provide considerable shade density, adjust the light intensity in different seasons, to improve indoor ventilation, light, and create a variety of special social space environment for the people through the exchange and activities. The only way
