Healthy Building - What is important?

Could it be because of all the poisons that my children are lethargic and hang around on their phones watching Twitch mindlessly or sending snaps?

No, we built "healthily" and have children who could be described similarly. Maybe the opposite is true. They grow up so healthy that they have a much higher life expectancy than we parents and simply take more time in their development.

Oh dear... why?
The draft doesn’t yet specify which adhesive, plaster, or paint will be used, does it?

Well, you did write:

when I read the Baufritz or similar brochures, it does make you think.
Wall construction is one thing—better massive and no Styrofoam, that would make me feel quite comfortable.

With that, you mentioned three versions straight away that are no longer variable at the end of the draft stage: namely monolithic stone or stone-ETICS (where the dice are already cast), and Baufritz would even be a timber house builder, with whom stone planning would not be feasible at all.

I find that and put it excellently to the point.

All materials used today in a house meet our limit values and are harmless on their own.

An additive consideration in a room is usually not made. In addition, a lot of furnishings are added. What is ultimately in the room can be made tangible for allergy sufferers and specialists with measuring devices. Most people will not be able to perceive a pollutant load themselves.

Here is my "healthy-building" input for :

For us, the consequence was a careful selection of materials for the house and furnishings according to the following aspects:

[*]natural materials are preferred (wood, clay, cellulose)
[*]anything that stinks stays outside (e.g. I do not like the smell of vinyl floors – no matter how well they may be tested)
[*]execution by craftsmen who think similarly to us in this regard and obviously like their job
[*]keeping distance from blunt, limit-value-oriented indifferent people who do not give it a second thought
[*]keeping distance from overzealous eco-missionaries who see only bad in the world
[*]very important: a good gut feeling – and at any time a partner’s veto right (if any).

Besides the choice of materials, a healthy building involves consideration of personal aspects. Make your own list. For us, these aspects were essentially:

[*]a physically clearly perceptible radiant heat source
[*]maximum brightness in the dark season
[*]maximum connection of the interior to nature to have an "outside feeling" inside as well and of course to enjoy naturally fresh scented air (blossoms, forest, meadow, rain, thunderstorm…)
[*]very large air volume in the living space with lots of natural materials (for us wood and clay)
[*]very good acoustics without standing waves, reverberation or hard reflections
[*]consistent preference of the aesthetically perceived solution (sometimes very simple), because the eye lives along.

I also consider it indispensable in healthy building to make sure not to drive yourself crazy (because that is unhealthy) and to choose the right budget and financing for your own nerve system (sleepless nights and worries also make you sick). Better to build a bit smaller, more modest and fitting than to slap together a euro-per-cubic-meter-optimized cuboid on the edge of feasibility.

Additionally, choose the building site well and actively initiate a good neighborhood; quarrels also harm health even in the "healthiest" built house. Nobody (barely) needs that.

How did you plan, implement and control that?

Presumably due to the Lignotrend acoustic ceilings ;)

If you really have a draft, this question is already answered and no longer variable. It is only so up to the preliminary draft stage,

I think we speak 's mind, if you understand him as he wants to be understood: the basic design of the house for the plot is set, now it’s about the building form and type.

I would like to build a "healthy" little house for my family,

Question: who wants to build an unhealthy house for their family?

don’t get me wrong, I’m not obsessive about it or anything.

Don’t get me wrong. But in the end, everything must also be feasible and affordable. So if you want to use purely ecological materials, then that costs…

The tiler has to know, when he hears "healthy living," that he has to use the bio-eco-edible adhesive and how to process it

Then one can only hope that the result is also what it promises to be. In principle, you shouldn’t build at all if it is about pure ecology. Others have already written enough about other aspects such as the "current technical standard," which is already set quite high on the topic of health. Also the further standard of living such as food + drink (preferably natural and without additives), smoking and alcohol as well as other poisons like sugar, flavors and fragrances, formaldehyde in clothing, aluminum, electrosmog have already been mentioned. I suppose that with good building sense you can give standardized building the green light - unless you can dig very deep into your wallet. There are, for example, aspects like ventilation systems, greywater collection and reuse, and good heating systems that one could and should favor.

[*]very good acoustics without standing waves, reverberation or hard reflections

How did you plan, implement and check that?

Got advice, did some research, calculated, decided on LignoTrend ceiling, had the carpenter do it, checked subjectively, the result is great. However, in the 90s I owned a high-end hi-fi store in Berlin and had already dealt with acoustic optimization of rooms with different geometries. So I was equipped with prior knowledge.
