Long before a โnew normalโ lifestyle came about because of the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), health experts around the world had advocated for a change in living conditions to reduce the risk of contracting diseases.
The World Health Organization (WHO) for one has long underscored the importance of natural ventilation in living spaces to reduce lung-related illnesses by up to 20%.
WHO on its website states that buildings should have adequate ventilation to improve indoor air quality and reduce risks posed by trapped or stale air which include allergies and asthma to name a few.
A good thing for DMCI Homesโ unit owners is that half the work has already been done with their condo units designed to maximize the benefits of natural air and sunlight.
As early as the late 2000s, The AAAA Developer had started implementing a design technology for high-rise buildings that allows sunlight and cross ventilation inside condominium units.
This design innovation called ๐๐ช๐ข๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ฉยฎ ๐ฟ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ก๐ค๐๐ฎ โ from the words โlumenโ meaning light and โventusโ meaning wind โ takes advantage of natural light and air by having three-storey high openings dubbed as Sky Patios as entry points to make this possible.
With this design technology, natural light and air enter the sides of the building and pass through landscaped atriums and through breezeways which are built in every five floors of the building.
Winds passing through and around the structures with the help of breezeways and vents on both sides of the building create areas of positive and negative pressure thereby supplying fresh air to the unit while pushing stale or hot air outside of the structure.
Coupled with the meticulous placement of doors, windows, and balconies for the unobstructed flow of air and sunlight throughout the units, the build-up of moisture, odors, and harmful gases is minimized resulting in long-term health benefits for building occupants.
It helps that most DMCI Homes condominium units have an open space layout. This free-flowing and functional design means the building requires fewer walls and dividers, which in turn encourages air and natural light to flow within.
With regular cleaning and disinfection, condo dwellers get to have all these health benefits while enjoying a comfortable and relaxing vacation lifestyle in all DMCI Homes condominium units.
