Speaking of eco-friendly housing, we must not forget about this factor as ecosystem services, including high degree of environmental safety, the conditions for rest and recuperation. Compared with concrete and brick houses, wooden houses have many advantages. One of the important properties of wood is its ability to refresh the air in the room, as well as maintain optimum moisture, preventing dampness in the house. Also, the tree is an excellent heat insulator. No wonder that for centuries in Russia, known for its severe frosts, houses were built of wood, which not only preserves, but also concentrates the heat. Speaking on the mechanical properties of wood, it is worth noting that the tree can be easily treated. In addition, it is known that the wood has medicinal properties. In ancient times believed that it relieves fatigue and restores strength. Today, talking about the influence of wood on the bioenergetics of man. For example, it is believed that such species as oak, pine, birch and apple trees have a tendency to give up their energy, while the poplar, aspen, cherry and alder take it. Those trees, which give energy, while providing a healing effect on the human body: relieve stress and anger, improve tone, and restore the nervous system, increases the activity. Some tree species such as apple and cedar, have cleansing and disinfectant properties. Color of wood may affect the psychological state of man. In nature, red is associated with danger, so the wood is red shades can increase irritability, anxiety, and eventually cause psychological discomfort. Dark, close to the black color is capable of causing depressed mood. Warm shades of yellow and orange evoke energy, but in large amounts can trigger irritation. The most beneficial effect on the human condition have oak or teak light brown. They create a welcoming atmosphere and give the person a sense of calmness, confidence and stability. Lighter shades also have the ability to visually enlarge the space and make the room lighter. A person is influenced not only the color of the wood, but wood. Selecting the proper kind of wood, you can adjust not only the emotional state, but the nature of man. For example, bamboo helps to control aggression, soothes irritation. Beech promotes tolerance towards others. Larch helps to believe in themselves and overcome self-doubt. Oak eliminates the vanity, helps to look objectively at the world, gives more energy and reduces excessive emotionality. Grab helps to develop a real look at things and get rid of prejudices and misconceptions. Walnut helps you make the right decisions and not to succumb to another's influence. Thus, the timber - it is a bit more than just a building material. People and Plants, as part of one ecosystem is inextricably linked to each other. As the tree - a material created by nature itself, in a wooden house you will always feel calm, warmth and comfort. Essential attribute of eco-housing is a wooden box. Unlike plastic, wood has the ability to "breathe", that is to pass air through the micropores, thereby ensuring its continued circulation. Modern wood windows have a high acoustic insulation, low thermal conductivity and resistance to temperature and longevity. By the indisputable advantages of wooden windows including their aesthetic qualities. They go perfectly with parquet flooring and wooden furniture and help to create the finished look of the interior space. It is no coincidence in European countries such as Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands, three-quarters of the windows are made from wood. Tendency to use natural materials is gradually coming to Russia. Country house, built from environmentally friendly materials, create a special atmosphere that is open for recreation to help regain strength, energy and composure, to find a balance with the surrounding world and regain peace and joy.
