1. Clean indoor air: A healthy home should have good indoor air quality. This means that the air is free from tobacco smoke, with mold and harmful chemicals at nominal levels.
   
2. Proper ventilation: A healthy home should have proper ventilation to ensure that the air inside the home is constantly circulating, reducing the risk of respiratory problems and other health issues.
3. Good lighting: Adequate natural lighting and well-placed artificial lighting can help improve mood and reduce stress levels.
4. Low noise levels: A healthy home should be located in a quiet area, with good sound insulation to reduce noise pollution from outside.
5. Safety and security: A healthy home should be designed to prevent accidents and injuries, and should have appropriate safety features such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and security systems.
6. Access to green space: Having access to outdoor spaces such as parks or gardens can promote physical activity, reduce stress, and improve overall health.
7. Healthy materials: The use of non-toxic and sustainable building materials can help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and promote environmental sustainability.

As defined by the CDC, a healthy home is one that supports the well-being of its occupants and promotes a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
