Indoor saunas are becoming increasingly popular in Canada as people look for ways to relax and unwind. But what is the environmental impact of having an indoor sauna in your home?
Energy Efficiency: Indoor sweat rooms in Canada tend to be relatively energy efficient. Most modern saunas use heaters that are designed to be energy efficient and the heat they produce is circulated around the room. This means that the energy used to heat the sauna is not wasted and is instead used to create a pleasant atmosphere.
Water Consumption: Indoor saunas require water to create the steam that is necessary for the sauna experience. However, the amount of water needed is much less than what is used to fill a bath or shower. In addition, most saunas use recycled water so it does not need to be constantly replaced.
Air Quality: The air quality in an indoor sauna can be improved by using an air purifier or a filter. This helps to reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and other airborne particles that can be present in the air. It also helps to reduce the amount of humidity in the air, which can be beneficial in reducing the risk of mold and allergies.
Recycling: Indoor saunas can also be recycled. Most saunas are made from wood, so the wood can be reused or recycled. In addition, any metal parts of the sauna can be recycled, and the water used to fill the sauna can be reused for other purposes.
