If you are asked to rate the comfort level of a home from 1 to 10, you can certainly do so. But can you explain why?
Although it may seem to be just a feeling, comfort goes much further than that and depends on several factors. When we design and install a smart home in Mallorca, its inhabitants always say they feel more comfortable, but what exactly is the reason for this?
What determines the degree of comfort of a space?
Comfort is something we feel, yes, but it is also something we create through physical elements. It is what makes us feel comfortable or not in a work, leisure or living space.
So, how can we make a house comfortable? What is it that some homes have and others don’t that makes them comfortable? Is this really something objective and measurable? Well… almost almost.
4 essential keys
Regardless of the tastes of those who live in a house, there are other reasons that make it a place where you want to spend time. That is comfort, and to achieve it we provide you with the 4 keys on which it is based:
1- Thermal comfort
- The basic principle is that it should be a dry space, without humidity.
- The interior temperature must be balanced thanks to insulation, waterproofing and an efficient air-conditioning system.
- Installing and controlling this system in a comfortable way, as in the case of smart homes, allows us to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
- A comfortable temperature is usually between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius, with a humidity level below 50%.
2- Acoustic comfort
- Living in noisy environments on a day-to-day basis can cause a lot of stress, insomnia, lack of concentration, etc.
- In addition, if you are a music and film lover and do not have a good sound system, your pleasure time will not achieve its purpose at all.
3- Lighting comfort
- Light is another of the crucial aspects for a space to be comfortable or the opposite.
- Luminous houses are always more enjoyable, just as those that lack natural light affect our mood and make spaces feel smaller.
- Setting the atmosphere in the rooms is fundamental to achieve an atmosphere that invites us to rest, to perform or to carry out the activity that we are going to do in them.
- Being able to control the lights in the home from a single device and remotely is perfect for adapting the space to each moment.
4- Functional comfort
- Functionality is not only reflected in the furniture and its arrangement, or in the layout of spaces. It also depends on how easy it is to use the different devices and elements that make up the home.
- Home automation is the ideal solution for converting a rigid, non-functional home into a safe, comfortable home that feels good to be in.
