8 Principles of a Healthy Home
 DRY
 CLEAN
 PEST-FREE
 SAFE
 CONTAMINANT-FREE
 VENTILATED
 MAINTAINED
 ENERGY EFFICIENT
National Center for Healthy
Housing
Keep it Dry
 Damp houses provide a nurturing
environment for mold and pests
 Even small gaps (between wall and
baseboard) can breed mold
 Killing or bleaching mold does not work
 There are no government standards for
mold (CA does have a new law)
Keep it Pest-Free
 Bed bugs may be allergy triggers and
exacerbate asthma
 Spraying for bed bugs does not always kill
them
 Cockroaches can live for only a week without
water
 Cockroach dander is an asthma trigger
Keep it Safe
 Concrete on the outside of the home can be
a trip and fall hazard as well as a way to let
water into the home
 The risk of child being injured as a result of a
result of a fall at home is twice the risk as at
as at child-care
 Almost every month, a child in the U.S. dies
Keep it Contaminant-Free
 Chemical exposures
radon
pesticides
volatile organic compounds
environmental tobacco smoke
carbon monoxide
lead
 Exposures rates are higher indoors than outside
Keep it Ventilated
 Most roofs may not be properly vented
 Ventilation reduces household allergens
 Fresh air supply in a home improves respiratory
health
 Opening your windows for 15 minutes a day can help
help to filter out the contaminants that may be
present in your home, including radon, a leading
leading cause of lung cancer, or formaldehyde, an air
Keep it Maintained
 Reduce the likelihood of household
fires and carbon monoxide poisoning
by having gas, oil or solid fuel heating
appliances professionally serviced
once a year
 Change your furnace filter every 3
months
Keep it Energy Efficient
 In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power
home electronics is consumed while the products are
turned off. (Idle power consumes more electricity than all
the solar panels in America combined.)
 Properly designed and executed, energy-efficient new
homes have been shown to improve the general and
respiratory health of occupants when compared to new
homes built using traditional practices.
 Weatherized homes are at lower risk for fires, and their
residents have fewer respiratory illnesses

Heartland 2050 Healthy Homes

  • 1. The Movement to Create Healthy Homes in the Metro Area
  • 2. About Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance

  • 5.
  • 6. 8 Principles of a Healthy Home  DRY  CLEAN  PEST-FREE  SAFE  CONTAMINANT-FREE  VENTILATED  MAINTAINED  ENERGY EFFICIENT National Center for Healthy Housing
  • 7. Keep it Dry  Damp houses provide a nurturing environment for mold and pests  Even small gaps (between wall and baseboard) can breed mold  Killing or bleaching mold does not work  There are no government standards for mold (CA does have a new law)
  • 8. Keep it Pest-Free  Bed bugs may be allergy triggers and exacerbate asthma  Spraying for bed bugs does not always kill them  Cockroaches can live for only a week without water  Cockroach dander is an asthma trigger
  • 9. Keep it Safe  Concrete on the outside of the home can be a trip and fall hazard as well as a way to let water into the home  The risk of child being injured as a result of a result of a fall at home is twice the risk as at as at child-care  Almost every month, a child in the U.S. dies
  • 10. Keep it Contaminant-Free  Chemical exposures radon pesticides volatile organic compounds environmental tobacco smoke carbon monoxide lead  Exposures rates are higher indoors than outside
  • 11. Keep it Ventilated  Most roofs may not be properly vented  Ventilation reduces household allergens  Fresh air supply in a home improves respiratory health  Opening your windows for 15 minutes a day can help help to filter out the contaminants that may be present in your home, including radon, a leading leading cause of lung cancer, or formaldehyde, an air
  • 12. Keep it Maintained  Reduce the likelihood of household fires and carbon monoxide poisoning by having gas, oil or solid fuel heating appliances professionally serviced once a year  Change your furnace filter every 3 months
  • 13. Keep it Energy Efficient  In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off. (Idle power consumes more electricity than all the solar panels in America combined.)  Properly designed and executed, energy-efficient new homes have been shown to improve the general and respiratory health of occupants when compared to new homes built using traditional practices.  Weatherized homes are at lower risk for fires, and their residents have fewer respiratory illnesses
