Weather in the house

Today, owners of private homes and city apartments are increasingly focused on appearance and interior housing, trying to emphasize your taste, personality and social status. However, the comfort of the inhabitants of the house depends not only on design frills, comfortable furniture and modern household appliances, but also on a minor at first glance, nuance, as the climate. We perform in a residential area and 60% of all life, and, according to doctors, namely the parameters of the microclimate (temperature, humidity, air content in oxygen, carbon dioxide, pollutants and dust) depends directly on our mood and health. According to modern research, the best temperature is in the accommodation +20-22 oC, and the optimal range of humidity - 45-55%. Deviations in one direction or another is not just being felt as uncomfortable, but lead to a deterioration of health and worsening of chronic diseases, especially among children and pensioners. If not so long ago tools to regulate microclimate parameters were only two - seat in the house and the open window, modern homes have a large arsenal of instruments that allow you to create the necessary climate conditions in the home. Thus, the temperature in the rooms maintain heaters, ventilation systems are used to provide fresh air, air-conditioning - cooling air in the rooms. There are also traps dust, air humidifiers, ozonizers and many other devices from a variety of head that can go around. Try to understand what is really important to create a pleasant atmosphere in the house. Every degree counts since in many regions of the country's harsh winters and long, then a critical role in maintaining a favorable microclimate parameters plays a heating system. For the inhabitants of urban residences connected to the centralized heating systems, there are quite a few opportunities to influence the amount of heat entering the house. So often during periods of thaw melt are observed, and in the cold temperature in the apartments can drop well below comfortable. Here almost everything depends on the mode of the boiler or brownie teplopunkta (ITP). However, in modern apartment buildings are now mandatory for central heating radiators set thermostats that regulate the amount of incoming coolant and automatically maintain a certain temperature in the room. For example, thermostats allow Danfoss to the degree to regulate the indoor temperature in the range of +7 oC to +28 oC. For owners of private houses and cottages with independent heating capacity for managing the amount of heat received by the house, much more. First of all, many modern boilers now have the function of the step or seamless power modulation. In addition, the built-in automation, 'smart' boilers are able to control the temperature of the coolant and ambient air and, depending on the needs at home in the warm, raise or lower the heat. According to the experts group of companies "Tria Comm", specializing in the design and installation of "smart house" such as intelligent control systems not only help maintain a comfortable temperature during winter, but also significantly reduce the cost of heating homes, in our time is very important. The last "rage" - the integration of home heating systems with systems of "smart home". Through remote controlled boilers and thermostats on radiators made possible a flexible temperature control in each of the rooms of the house with a single remote via the Internet or mobile phone. For example, in the absence of the hosts in the room temperature can be lowered to the minimum (10-15oC), and the signal timer or a phone call from a mobile up to a comfortable value. The air was fresh and cool in the heat of summer is the opposite problem - cool the air in homes to comfortable values. Maintain a favorable climate in this case to help air-conditioning system. Given that, from July to August in the European part of Russia and Siberia are not rare +30-35 oC temperature and even above, the installation of air conditioning is not a luxury but a matter of survival. "By creating an optimum microclimate in premises may normalize mood, relieve or prevent the exacerbation of the disease - says Natalia Petrenko, general practitioner, family doctor. - So if there is a choice between air conditioning and a fan, you should prefer the former, though much more expensive option. Modern air conditioners are able to eliminate dust and germs, which are contained in the air. The main thing to remember to regularly clean the filters. Otherwise, very dirty filter may cause the spread of harmful bacteria. " In addition, many current models of air conditioners and heating work. For such a function of city apartments are highly relevant in the off-season (spring and autumn), when the central heating is not included or is turned off and the weather is amazing out of season frosts. But as a rule, most air conditioners can heat the air in the room at a temperature of outside air is not below minus 5oC, so do not expect them to completely replace the heating system. "The most popular at the moment is a split system consisting of indoor and outdoor units. These air conditioners are well suited for city apartments, but not very useful for private houses, where it is necessary to maintain the microclimate in several areas - says Victor Popov, chief engineer of the "Climate Plus." - Domestic split system designed for a certain amount of space, usually up to 50 kV. m. Therefore, for private homes is better to use a split-channel system: one internal and one external units, plus canal system that connects all the rooms are air conditioned. Such systems are more powerful, easier to use and less hazardous to health, since they evenly distribute cool air and do not create drafts. " Since the indoor units of split systems are located in a residential area is of great importance is how quiet they are working. Indeed, elevated levels of noise can interfere with healthy sleep and relaxation. In accordance with Russian sanitary norms, the maximum noise level for these devices must not exceed 45 dB, a most current models, this figure is in the range 25-30 dB. However, some manufacturers go so far. "The level of noise produced by air conditioning Gree Beauty, does not exceed 21 dB, - says Vladimir Sviridov, the technician of the company" EuroCLIMATE-region "(the official representative of Gree in Russia). - For comparison, the noise created by the wings of a butterfly, is approximately 26 dB. " Keeping warm and cold enough to create a favorable climate in the house or apartment, you must still keep it. Especially that prevent old wooden windows with single glazing to crack, warp and start windswept, because of what winter can not keep a home warm in the summer - do not safeguard against street heat. As a result, the cost of home heating and air conditioning significantly increased. With the installation of heat-windows it is possible to solve the problem of heat loss in housing, as well as to achieve complete lack of drafts. In terms of finance, this means about 30-50% reduction in the cost of cooling or heating the house. High heat-saving properties of modern windows due to high thermal resistance of frames and sashes (eg, plastic structures using PVC profiles with 3-5 airbags), rubber seals between the frame and doors, as well as the application is not single-glass and sealed insulating glass units consisting of 2 -3 glasses and cameras between them. For further improve the thermal resistance between the glass chamber filled with inert gases, and on the glass causing subtle metallic coating that blocks the passage of radiant heat. This means that in the winter so the glass will prevent heat loss, and vice versa in the summer heat will weaken the infrared radiation from the sun and reduce heat homes. With all these nuances of modern windows in their ability to retain heat can compete with thick brick walls. "For example, the system PROPLEX-Comfort-Plus allows you to install energy efficient windows in the design thickness of 52 mm, which ensures maximum teplosberezheniya - says Leo Minullin, Director of Business Development PROPLEX (the first Russian developer and the largest producer of PVC window systems for Austrian technologies) . - As shown by the test window assembly made using triple-pane windows and a profile of the system has high resistance to heat transfer (0.84 square meters. M * oC / W). Its heat shield is higher than the wall thickness of 79 cm in three bricks, for which the thermal resistance is 0.59 sq. km. m * oC / Tues. " To enter, air addition to a comfortable temperature for a normal life at home is needed fresh air. In accordance with the existing health standards, the concentration of carbon dioxide in dwellings should not exceed 0.1%, and this for every person living in the home, it takes 30 cubic meters. m of fresh air per hour. If these parameters can be observed signs of oxygen starvation - headaches, sleepiness, fatigue. In most homes the old buildings provide only passive ventilation with a flow of air through the window. But modern energy efficient windows for heat savings are made tight, they do not leak air, and passive ventilation circuit is broken. One solution to this problem - installing air intake valves of air infiltration (KIV). This valve is a plastic tube with an internal thermal protection that is inserted into a hole in an outside wall. The air will flow into the room, regardless of whether the window is open or closed. Manufacturers often provide accessories for windows mikroprovetrivaniya function. For example, when installing the handle at an angle of 45 degrees between the frame and sash in a gap of 10-12 mm. This is enough for air circulation, but not enough for the appearance of drafts. There are also many options for so-called ventilation or climate valves that provide fresh air at the closed window. They can be installed on doors, mounted on a window frame or even be integrated into the handle! "We propose to install two types of valves - windows and parapet: Aereko and CRS 'B-75", - said Vladimir Ryabenko, CEO of the window of "Alukom." - But it should be noted that the efficiency of their operation depends on many factors: structural features of the building, correct placement of exhaust air vents and air intake valves, etc. The creation of the necessary air flow for each individual room. " However, experts argue that the best (albeit rather expensive) solution is to install active ventilation. With the help of fans fresh air of the street climbs the system is cleaned of dust, heat, and enters the room, while the exhaust air is expelled outside. As we have seen, good weather in the house at any time of year is possible with the use of modern heating, ventilation and air conditioning. A comfortable climate that was not too wasteful, it is worth thinking about energy-efficient solutions that reduce energy costs for the work of all kinds of HVAC equipment.
