Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.Walt Whitman
Excellence in domestic comfort
Thermal comfort is the state of being in which the individual feels neither too hot nor too cold. In the average living space, this occurs when the air temperature in the room is between 19 and 22°C in winter and 25 and 27°C in summer. These temperatures must furthermore be as homogenous as possible in their various settings in order to avoid thermal bridges and air flow.
In the rooms we live and work, the relative humidity percentage of the air should be around 35-55%.
Excessively humid environments can generate superficial condensation and favour the proliferation of mould and bacteria as well as heighten the sensation of sultriness in the summer. Excessively dry environments can also cause respiratory problems (cough, dry mucous membranes).
The absence of humidity and mould must be ensured both in new buildings and in the recovery of existing buildings.
Before any redevelopment intervention, it is essential to look into the presence of wet mass and other forms of deterioration of the walls.
Indoor air quality influences people's health and well-being.
The internal environment of our homes is oftentimes more exposed to pollutants and toxic substances than the external one: ventilation systems, building materials, furnishings and cleaning detergents are all sources of pollution that are not to be underestimated.
Acoustic comfort safeguards the person's need for silence and privacy. The absence of noise facilitates reflection, contemplation, meditation and allows our body to regenerate.
The quality of a building is also measured by its ability to prevent noise from entering from outside and stop it from easily carrying over from one room to another.
Creating a welcoming environment also means respecting the individual’s personal and subjective need to live in a space that reflects their individuality.
The natural materials lend surfaces on which they are applied an authentic, superior quality which makes the environment unique.
Terracruda® systems allow you to reach optimal levels of comfort, while reducing the use of heating and cooling systems to a minimum, with obvious savings in terms of costs and energy consumption.
Raw earth is a material with a low environmental impact and low levels of CO2 emissions.
