INTERIOR Design
8.00Interpret levels of comfort and safety in home design.
RECOGNIZE WAYS TO CONTROL COMFORT THROUGH AIR QUALITY.
8.01
Humidifiers• Used in the home to put moisture into the air
Dehumidifier• Draws moisture out of the air• Installed in the home to remove excess moisture which in turn
helps to eliminate mold growth
Air Purifier• Reduces inside air pollution• Removes dust, mold, bacteria, odors
Carbon Monoxide Detector• Detects the release of dangerous gas providing by burning
fossil fuels
CLASSIFY HOME SAFETY AND SECURITY FEATURES.
8.02
Underwriters Laboratories seal• Found on electrical items means the tool meets certain safety
standards
Security systems• Sensors to detect movement, usually located at windows
and/or doors• Door viewer- you can see who is outside without physically
going to look• Biometrics- touchpad to read who you are• Timers- Inexpensive safety device which can turn electrical
items off and on at specific times
Fires• Smoke detectors- Batteries should be checked to see if they
are working every six months to a year• Fire extinguishers- contents for one in the kitchen should
contain specific chemicals in case of a grease fire
RECOGNIZE CONSERVATION COMPONENTS.
8.03
Natural elements• Trees and shrubs- can help isolated homes with wind break• Plants- certain plants can help conserve water because they
use less water (this is called xeriscaping)• Sun- form of energy absorbed by the sun is called solar• Water- ultra low flush toilets conserve water; using sprinklers
late at night and first thing in the morning• Hills- topography (way the land lays) is the practice of a home
placed at the bottom of a hill so that it is protected from a cold North wind
• Window placement- houses placed so windows face south to allow absorption of heat is called orientation
