Symptoms of electromagnetic sensitivity (headache, muscle tension, sleeping disorders) can be debilitating. Electromagnetic radiation is invisible and can be extremely complex. Without knowing sources or understanding mitigation strategies, do-it-yourself approaches can do more harm than good.

Professional consulting and pre- and post-mitigation testing provides certainty and peace of mind. Many common EMF mitigations are zero cost or even save money (e.g., turning your cell phone and Wi-Fi off at night). In particular cases, further mitigation may be required to achieve a more health-supporting living space. HBI has the training and equipment necessary to evaluate your building for EMF and suggest practical and effective mitigation strategies.

Anecdotally many of my clients say they sleep better and have less muscle tension after EMF mitigation. One client with electromagnetic sensitivity built his dream home in Hawaii, but when cellular towers and a radio tower were built down the street, he began suffering migraines. Before putting the home on the market he learned about Building Biology EMF inspections and called HBI as a last attempt to keep from moving. While his case was complex and required some rewiring and Radio Frequency shielding in his Bedroom, he now lives comfortably in his dream home and is considering going through the Building Biology training program so he can help others with electromagnetic sensitivity.

Our training, experience, and technology are unique in this area of environmental assessments. While EMF inspections are common and regulations are more stringent in the European Union, few Americans are trained to inspect for EMFs. HBI uses finely calibrated metering equipment and a proven protocol (Building Biology - adopted from Germany) to analyze buildings for electrosmog.

EMR inspectors are certified Building Biology Environmental Consultants (BBEC) through the Institute for Building Biology and Ecology (IBE). We typically follow the Building Biology survey protocol and rely on their prescribed safety thresholds as benchmarks for assessments. Our meters are very high quality and all are approved by IBE for use in EMR surveys.
