More and more in larger cities abound allergies caused by modern lifestyles. According to epidemiological studies of air pollution causes 300 000 deaths to every EU citizen. People with poor activation of antibodies to pollen or dust, but they have the opportunity to find refuge in the low-energy homes. They not only miserly power consumption, but also the health of their inhabitants.

Suffer from allergies more than 2 million people in the Czech Republic.
The most common type is a pollen allergy, which, although belonging to the weak forms of allergies, but it can sweat. Another allergic respiratory disease is asthma, which in our country thousands of people suffer. This is a serious lung disease in which there is a long-term inflammation of the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, in most cases is caused by narrowing of the airways. Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood. Suffers by about a tenth of children, mostly boys. In contrast adult women predominate among the sick. Asthmatics often suffer from dust and mites, both outside and in the home environment. The high incidence of asthma is associated with passive smoking, air pollution by exhaust gases, dust and excessive concentrations of ozone.

For a parent suffering from allergies is 30% risk that the disease is manifest even in his child. If both parents are allergic, the risk increases to 60% full. It also happens that the hereditary basis of forward grandparents to grandchildren.

Allergens in the home
Allergies can also cause a very small amount of allergen. The result of reaction is not protection from harmful substances, but rather damage the body. Allergens with which we can meet at home, are primarily mites, inconspicuous pests reaching only 0.3 mm. They feed on skin waste and most of them located in the bed, which gives them the most favorable environment. Most alergizují their excrements, which pollute the fine dust particles. After their ingestion or skin contact cause an allergic reaction. Microscopically small particles of dust floating in the air and constantly deposited on various surfaces. Absolute removal of allergenic dust is virtually impossible, but with the heat on pollen and dust filters in passive homes that can be achieved to the maximum extent possible.

Dangerous and mold. They occur mainly in basements, bathrooms and laundries, where they have sufficient moisture and temperature. In case of insufficient ventilation leads to increased humidity, excessive ventilation may in turn lead to excessive moisture reduction. High humidity increases the risk of allergic and rheumatic diseases, the formation of the mold. "Mildew thrive in old buildings, cottages and chalets. Often we can find under the carpet, old textiles, upholstery and spižírnách. Know is by the characteristic smell, "said Dr.. Mary Špičáková, private physician centers Allergology and Clinical Immunology for children, youth and adults in Prague - Podolí. In the internal environment of some buildings even surpasses the incidence of mold mites. Ideal conditions for the proliferation of mold in the home occur when the outdoor temperature decreases. The flats are beginning to heat and less venting. "Mold home, unlike those found in the outdoor environment all year round and people causing health problems permanently. To grow also need the right conditions with relative humidity greater than 50% and a suitable temperature. Inhaling mold spores can also cause permanent nealergického individuals cough and fever, with severe symptoms of allergic bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis in year-long course, "warns a doctor.

Such problems can be avoided by choosing the right home. Low-energy and passive buildings not only provide year-round pleasant indoor climate, as well as overall comfort in modern living. In the Czech Republic is a leader in the construction of low energy and passive housing company JRD. The ventilation system will also appreciate the life of healthy people and allergy sufferers.

Thanks to the supply air system, controlled ventilation, which passes through the dust filter. The air is already old-fashioned and fed in such a way that there is no draft. Control of dust brings health benefits for residents and reduces the need for vacuuming. The ventilation system can remove the current housing problems with moisture without having to install a dehumidifier or a humidifier. It provides a solution for allergy sufferers. Just replace the dust filter pollen and allergy sufferers to breathe much better, because they have a clean air free from undesirable pollen.

DANGER IN CITIES allergy
Allergies occur frequently in cities, because air quality is significantly worse. The biggest enemy of clean air include motor transport, heating plants and thermal power plants. Some European countries, including Sweden and Germany for example, introduced in the centers of big cities so-called low-emission zone. The entrance to them are allowed only cars that produce only small amounts of pollutants. In Sweden, the zone has introduced fifteen years ago and the emission of dust particles that have managed to reduce by about 40%. During research in New York showed the connection between children's intelligence and air pollution, which were exposed to their mothers during pregnancy. Children from the most polluted areas were on IQ tests results of up to five points lower.

Based on the regulations of the City of Prague for the episode announces the regulation of pollution sources. Ministry of the Environment for more than two years working intensively on a new law on air protection. The new proposed law instruments, inter alia, the tightening of emission limits and technical requirements for the operation of air pollution sources in areas with deteriorated air quality, and low emission zones, which would allow regulation of traffic on air quality deterioration.

IDEAL HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR Allergy
Before the allergens that are constantly attacking us from the environment, can be hidden in modern living. In cities with allergens unavoidable, but in the flat limit go. Currently getting into the subconscious of apartments that are more environmentally friendly. Low energy and passive housing maintain a comfortable temperature all year round and provide without undue drafts and leakage power quality fresh air. In addition, air is filtered and removal of the harmful dirt and dust. The apartment is still nicely moist air to prevent mold formation. In addition, these buildings environmentally friendly new buildings as much as normal. The need for heating low-energy class A dwelling does not exceed 50 kWh/m2.a. In the case of JRD are even by the standards of low-energy housing class A 30 kWh/m2.a. Current new buildings are between 80 to 140 kWh/m2.a.

High quality interior environment in the low-energy buildings provide controlled ventilation system with heat recovery, which removes odors. In the low-energy apartment encounter with dry air, inadequate temperature or a sick air causing fatigue, headaches and poor sleep. Improper air humidity results in drying of the mucous membranes and the formation of mold. This leads to frequent nausea, allergies, joint pain and nerve problems of the population. According to studies of air quality has a direct impact on work performance. The system delivers controlled heat recovery ventilation required amount of air at room temperature, ventilates the odors from the air filters pollen and dust and indoor environment relieves gas and odor. The constant air flow prevents the carbon dioxide to increase its concentration. This arises primarily natural process of breathing, resulting in stale air, which causes fatigue and sleepiness. The result exceeded the concentration of carbon dioxide is low oxygenation of the brain to reduce concentration and productivity. The most serious health problems can cause carbon monoxide, among other things, there is smoking.

The low-energy residential buildings as the first Czech company focused JRD, Ltd. , whose projects have won numerous awards for environmental benefits. Currently, the leading developer in the market of low-energy and passive housing.

JRD Company, Ltd. since its inception in 2003 realized 12 projects are under construction and projects in Strašnice Villa Villa Under Augustus and gazebo. For those interested, the company offers a flat rent for the exam to get yourself to experience the benefits of healthy living before you buy.
