Healthy Building Inspections
catch pollutants before they catch you
Suffer allergies indoors? Wonder what's in your water?
Catch pollutants before they catch you!
Having a building inspected for contaminants or designed for occupant health is a safety precaution for health-conscious people in the 21st century, similar to buying organic food. Healthy Building Inspections works with clients to create healthier air quality, water quality, and electromagnetic environments. We work for people with allergies, asthma, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES), and otherwise healthy people applying the precautionary principle to their built environment.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air regularly contains 5-20 times higher concentrations of many indoor air pollutants. To get a sense of these contaminants and their sources you can take an online virtual home tour provided by the EPA.
There are several free and easy ways to protect your family (PDF) and improve your indoor environmental quality today. Additionally, here are safe and effective green cleaning recipes (PDF) for a healthier home.
Healthy Building Inspection Services
Learning what is in your existing building is the first step toward creating a healthier indoor environment. We offer environmental testing services for residential and commercial buildings. Our environmental inspections focus on identifying hazards that may impact occupant health.By using a thorough inspection protocol and high-tech equipment we make the invisible – visible – and expose hidden environmental threats. If requested, our user-friendly reports include photos and written comments to clearly convey findings and suggestions.
We also offer Green Building Consulting and specialized Research services for select projects. Our research and design/construction consulting services are tailored to suit the needs of each project. For design and construction projects we are selective, and only work with clients willing and able to push the envelope in terms of building for optimal occupant health. Services include:
HBI provides top-notch environmental consulting and our training and background adds unique value to our services. Alex Stadtner, principal Healthy Building Inspector, is a certified Building Biology Environmental Consultant with extensive green building design and construction consulting experience.
HBI offers a holistic and unique combination of expertise in building science and environmental science. Other specialty inspectors focus on a single contaminant (e.g., mold or radon), whereas HBI offers a broad range of environmental assessment services to meet your needs. During inspections we learn what design and construction practices regularly fail and we use those lessons to take “green building” consulting to the next level.
