Healthy Residential Building Experience Exchange - Who Has Built Like This?

Our general contractor pays attention to "healthy living" construction. No construction foams, no chipboards, for example in the doors, etc. We haven't dealt with it in detail. It's nice and good to know that according to today's standards no harmful substances are built into the interior, but it's not decisive. For us, healthy living was not a must-have. If you place value on it, you have to carry it through consistently. Furniture, home textiles, electrical appliances, clothing. We do not intend to do that. We wanted a passive house and a partner who understands us, with whom we feel well taken care of.

Inside, it is supposedly not so expensive. For example, not every type of flooring is suitable. You can really sink a lot of money into insulation under the floor slab and exterior wall. What does it bring? First of all, it has no effect on the indoor climate.

We have an external roof insulation (visible roof truss) and wood fiber boards from the company Gutex (Multiplex Top)

Our radon insurance is Katja Sprint, that's what it's called.

In my opinion, the best way to combat radon is good ventilation anyway, so: we have a controlled residential ventilation system also in the basement.....

Which door in the basement do you want to seal, the door down into the basement?

But I wouldn't go to the alternative practitioner with the leaflet from the tile adhesive either."

Very cool post :-) Make my day! I have to walk around the house again with the dowsing rod and then order the Faraday cage kit for our bedroom... Although we have decided to only sleep in a floating state from now on, it's much healthier than having contact with the floor ;-)

Just don't pay the gravity bill, then you'll wake up on the ceiling in the morning.

Thank you very much for your answers.

@ Snowy36: Yes, I meant a solid door in front of the cellar stairs or at the bottom of the cellar stairs. I read this in a recommendation. However, radon can still pass through when walking through ...

I have already noted Gutex. It seems to be a good brand.

Wouldn't it then be "healthy to live in" to simply do without the basement?
