Hello community ¿how are you?

Today we continue with the series of bioclimatic houses and we will talk about the use of vegetation in homes. The post before this were:

Vegetation.

Implement vegetation in homes is a practice that is increasingly used and is that people are seeing the amount of benefits that brings, apart from giving a natural and fresh touch to the house, improves the quality of it, in aspects as temperature, ventilation, fertilizer and even for food: p

Temperature

The roofs, walls or balconies of the buildings are usually too hot, as a result of the direct radiation of the sun, then through the thermal conductivity of these materials the heat easily enters the residences and increases the temperature inside.

Placing vegetation in these areas acts as a thermal insulator for building, as well as the function that hair plays in animals.

Ventilation

As explained in the previous post about ventilation .. The vegetation inside our house can absorb the vapors that are produced inside, thus improving the quality of the air that is breathed in the house. We can also implement it to prevent the cold air from entering during the winter.

We know that a wide variety of plants expel a pleasant aroma, if we wish we can locate those plants in strategic areas of the area such as windows or at the entrance of the room, in such a way that when the air enters its aroma spreads all over the place .

Food

For thousands of years, plants have been used to collect fruits and spices for use in our meals, and every time food such as tomatoes, chili, onion and others, are becoming more expensive, because their transportation is It has become more expensive.

Sowing, maintaining and then collecting the fruits of our plants is a very good activity for our health and our pocket.

Fertilizer

The vegetation can produce fertilizer by means of the implementation of different organic materials that after passing through a series of processes and / or stages of decomposition of the same, organic matter is obtained to be added to the plants as food. This is called composting

In a next post, I will try to explain how it is achieved.
