Core Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water.
Terrain and water sources directly affect the distribution of energy fields; site selection must be cautious.
Assess the energy of the site by observing the direction of the water system and the layout of the buildings.
House design should focus on the division of movement and stillness and the guidance of airflow.
Professional Feng Shui masters can provide customized solutions for layout defects.
The essence of Feng Shui is an environmental energy management system. Modern geography research confirms that the direction of mountains and the flow of underground water creates special electromagnetic fields that directly affect the biological rhythms of residents. For example, a layout that features backing up to a mountain and facing water not only prevents wind loss and stabilizes sand but also utilizes the negative ions from water bodies to improve the microclimate.
Taking the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City as an example, its white marble base (Metal) supporting the camphor wood columns (Wood) design subtly reflects the generating principle of Metal producing Water, and Water producing Wood. In practical applications, adding crystal ornaments (Water element) in a study can promote active thinking, or placing ceramic products (Earth element) in the entrance can stabilize the energy field of the entrance.
I have physically measured a riverside property and found that the airflow speed is most stable in the zone 150-200 meters from the riverbank. I recommend homebuyers bring a compass for on-site inspection, record changes in sunlight and ventilation at different times, and draw their own \Site Energy Distribution Map\.
Using infrared thermal imaging technology, the airflow trajectories outside the building can be clearly observed. One case shows that a curved balcony design can reduce wind speed by 23%, which is more conducive to gathering auspicious energy.
Statistics on the types of trees in the community and the migration routes of migratory birds indicate that the plant essences released by species like ginkgo and camphor have significant purifying effects. It is recommended to prioritize communities with a vegetation coverage rate exceeding 35%.
Refer to the “Urban Engineering Geological Atlas” to avoid areas where underground rivers and fault zones intersect. A certain developer utilized geological radar detection in the early stages of a project to successfully avoid three potential energy conflict areas.
As the geomagnetic north pole moves 55 kilometers each year, it is necessary to use a magnetic declination correction APP to obtain real-time data. For example, the magnetic declination in Beijing for 2023 is -6°12', and adjustments should be made to the compass reading accordingly during orientation.
Using three-layer hollow Low-E glass in the master bedroom bay window can reduce energy dissipation while ensuring lighting. Real test data indicates that this configuration can increase indoor negative ion concentration by 18%.
Using computational fluid dynamics software, the effects of different window opening plans can be simulated. After a homeowner changed a casement window in the bathroom to a top-hung window, the efficiency of odor removal improved by 40% without affecting privacy.
Using a spectral analyzer, it is detected that the color temperature of high-quality residences should stabilize between 4000-5000K, with a CRI color rendering index of >90. A certain high-end furnished apartment project improved illumination in north-facing rooms by 70 lux by adding reflective panels.
A high-end residential project in Shanghai incorporated soundscape engineering into its landscape design, utilizing a cascading waterfall to create white noise (45-50 decibels), effectively counteracting road traffic noise. Tests showed a 32% improvement in residents' sleep quality ratings.
Using ATP bioluminescence detection technology, it is determined that a qualified residence should have a total wall microbial count < 100 CFU/cm². After photocatalytic treatment, a certain villa's basement reduced the mold concentration from 580 CFU to 85 CFU.
