Weather and climate conditions can directly affect our home and, further, indirectly affect us. During the warm days of summer, heat can become very unbearable even within the deemed-to-be-comfortable confines of our home. We might think that our wall is a protective shield that guards us from the heat outside. But more often than not, they can shockingly do the opposite. Heat coming from the sun can penetrate even thick walls through what our physics teacher would call radiation. And if heat does make its way inside our home, it will then heat up the whole room because of another process which, again, our physics teacher would fondly label as convection. So if heat can come in through the walls, the more it can do the same through the roof and windows, especially the roof since it is directly exposed to the sun. So we just made ourselves an oven out of our own home. During the winter however, another set of problem sets in. The number one concern is humidity. The more amount of water vapor your home holds, the more humid it would be. Humidity can cause a lot of trouble. First off, it can be a cause of moisture build up. Moisture on surfaces like carpets, walls, wood in the roof, and glass panes can create moulds. Mould build up is not a good sight to behold and it can damage furniture and places in the home. Aside from that, they are also unfriendly to our respiratory system and can even be lethal. Excessive doses of mould spores, when inhaled, may cause harm and can lead to adverse respiratory problems. They can also cause allergic reactions. Some moulds can even release mycotoxins that can be deadly. These high-risk problems during the...
