Healthy homes

Healthy home means that your home is optimized to promote conditions that offer the best possible environment for human habitat.  The indoor environment is designed and built to be free (as much as possible) of conditions that impair health or promote disease. 

Attributes of a healthy house:

• Moisture management of exterior surfaces and indoor humidity  
• Extremely tight building shell, which greatly reduces dirty air infiltration from outdoors
• Assembled with appropriate materials that avoid contaminant introduction
• Reduced airborne respirable particle concentration (cleaner air)
• Fresh, clean makeup air with controlled rate of flow
• Drinking water filtration
• Soil gas infiltration mitigation

The net result of building/renovating to a healthy house standard includes:

• Cleaner indoor respirable air
• Cleaner drinking water
• Reduced likelihood of mold growth
• Enhanced comfort
• Greater home value
