Haven Properties’ homes take allergies out of fall

Posted by Renita Davis on September 25th, 2007

It’s fall allergy season, and Atlanta new home builder Haven Properties has a question: How clean is the air in your home?

Haven Properties homes are built with EarthCraft and ENERGY STAR construction. They omit the gaps and cracks of typical construction so outside air doesn’t leak in and the allergens stay out.
A Honeywell air ventilation system brings fresh air in and circulates it throughout the home. The controlled amounts if fresh air are based on the home’s size and number of rooms. The system keeps homes from losing conditioned air and prevents indoor air from becoming stale or filled with indoor pollutants.

All fresh air brought in the home goes through a Honeywell air purifier. The purifier’s four-inch pleated filters trap more particles and up to five times more pollutants than regular air filters.

Dr. Donald Cote, an ear, nose and throat doctor in Conyers/Covington, Ga., concurs that keeping homes sealed and filtering fresh air help allergy sufferers. “Allergies affect over 20 percent of the population, so these measures are important for them,” said Dr. Cote. “Others who would benefit from cleaner indoor air are those with respiratory illnesses such as asthma or emphysema.”
