Microclimate in buildings made of earth

Allergy, allergens – these are words that each of us are familiar with, but not everyone is aware of the fact that, the rooms in which we live have a significant influence on the human organism, and a poor microclimate in rooms may bring about a whole range of various ailments and sicknesses including tumours.
Having an allergy has, nowadays, become a disease of civilisation. In highly developed countries, about 75% of the population of children suffer from an allergy and in less industrialised countries, like Poland, 40% of the population. Susceptibility to such an ailment has been rapidly rising, causing a fourscore rise in the number of cases in Poland in the last 15 years, from approx. 10% to 40%
In highly developed countries the concept of Sick Building Syndrome emerged over 20 years ago, defining the influence which buildings have on the health of those who are within its walls. Approximately 85% of our lives is spent inside buildings. Not without reason, countries with the most developed civilisations attach a great deal of importance to the health of a room, which goes hand in hand with the promotion of a healthy life-style and the development of pro-healthy technology. For a few dozen years, a steady growth in the interest in the technology of building and construction using earth, which is currently enjoying its heyday, has been noted. Earth material is the only material which creates a specific microclimate in a room in a natural way i.e. one that is suitable from the point of view of the health of those inside its four walls. In this sense, these buildings are a habitat for man – a place offering the best conditions for the development of a given organism. Ensuring an appropriate level of comfort in a room means here, ensuring the right air temperature and the optimum level of humidity at which the human organism functions correctly and is not exposed to the negative effects of the surroundings.

If the humidity level is too low, it accelerates the process of skin-aging, irritates the eyes and the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, which makes breathing difficult, can even cause pruritus, inflammation, atopy, intensification of allergic skin reactions and as a consequence lead to a lowering of the immunity level and causes the immunological system to work less efficiently.
If the humidity level is too high, apart from feeling cold and a general lack of well-being, a number of health threats are also created along with the growth of fungi and mould. The optimum level of humidity in the air at which the human organism functions at its best is around 50-60%. Clay possesses a specific ability to be able to absorb and then return humidity to the air, that is why it is an excellent building material which regulates the humidity in rooms. Moreover it also possesses qualities which absorb unpleasant smells.
Such conditions facilitate concentration and reduce the feeling of tiredness. Using clay as a building material enables an appropriate microclimate to be created in living and work spaces and also in rooms designed for resting. The ratio of the microclimate of a room increases together with the increased amount of clay in the wall i.e. the thicker the layer of plaster, up until gaining the full thickness of the wall, the better the microclimate!
Despite access to advanced technologies and many various materials, clay is the best and irreplaceable building material which creates a suitable microclimate and is unrivalled in this category.
