Molds and bacteria inside your home can have an adverse effect on your health. As molds and microorganisms proliferate, indoor air quality decreases and health problems increase.

To improve air quality, it is necessary to decrease relative humidity and lower the moisture level of the surfaces on which the molds and microorganisms grow. This can be accomplished by increasing ventilation and drying out the affected area.

Use safe materials.

Use products that are biodegradable, non toxic, water based, and cold water compatible.

Avoid products that contain dyes, ozone depleting chemicals, heavy metals, formaldehyde, or known carcinogens. Avoid solvent based finishes, particleboard, adhesives, some carpets, and other products that release volatile chemicals into the air. Look for green rated labels on carpets and other products.

Remove old-style pressure treated wood when possible, especially in play structures.

Green building is an approach to design and construction that respects the environment and conserves resources. It is a common sense approach that is available to all home owners. Green building techniques create a more cost effective, enjoyable and sustainable home to live in.
