Breakthrough housing design 

for asthma and allergy sufferers

 

Ichijo Technological Homes, i-Smart home has recently been approved by the National Asthma Council Australia's (NAC) Sensitive Choice program.

The project has been recognised as a positive step for people with asthma and allergies.

Ichijo Technological Homes are the first Australian builder to be a partner of the Sensitive Choice® program and will be able to display the Sensitive Choice® blue butterfly symbol.

Ichijo's general manager, Phil Stewart, said the company's technical personnel undertook intensive research and testing to ensure we met the NAC's requirements, in order to be approved by the Sensitive Choice® program.

 “We are delighted to be a partner of the Sensitive Choice® program as we believe for the first time in Australia, home buyers will be able to choose a home designed for their wellbeing and at the same time choose an architecturally stylish residence,” he said.

The i-Smart home features a unique i-Smart ventilation system that provides filtered air via a barrier-free system, creating a balanced tempered climate throughout the home.

A sophisticated HRV unit cleans the air.

The combination of a high performance filter and super air-tight walls prevent drafts, dust, pollen and pollution from entering the home.

Additional key components to the design of the i-Smart is the integration of high levels of insulation, double glazed windows and continuous wall panels. The Wall panels have an incorporated air cavity, that allows moisture to be drawn through to the roof and outside, inhibiting mould growth.

All these features aim to reduce the likelihood of fewer triggers and irritants in the home.

 

Ichijo will have two new i-Smart display homes open early September at Peregrine Street, HomeWorld Gledswood Hills off Macarthur Drive. For more information go to www.ichijo.com.au.
