Health and Wellbeing

As we get older we become more susceptible to getting sick and an unhealthy home can impact on your ability to look after yourself on a daily basis and in some cases can contribute to illness. On the other hand a home that is easy to look after and supports your needs can have an extremely positive effect on your health and wellbeing.
The materials you choose and the fittings and fixtures you select can have a large part to play in your ability to keep your home clean and hygienic and this in turn can effect your health.
Your ability to perform bathing and daily grooming tasks easily and properly can be effected by the design and layout of your bathroom and the layouts of kitchens and laundries can greatly impact on your ability maintain a clean environment.
A clean water supply, cross ventilation through your home and the opportunity to easily access an outdoor area that is sheltered and offers outlook and privacy can all have an impact on your health and wellbeing and are part of the range of items considered in this audit.
Sustainability
While looking after your health and wellbeing you can also look after the health of the planet in many ways around your own home and in turn have long term saving effects on your hip pocket.
Achieving a sustainable home environment is much more than just using energy efficient light globes and appliances with a five star energy rating and many of the things you can do around your home need not be expensive.
Simple things like the curtain material you choose and installing a security screen on your bedroom window so you can leave the window open at night and turn of the air-conditioner through to planting shrubs in front of your house to assist with passive cooling all contribute to the energy efficiency and sustainability of your home.
