Research
We bridge the gap between building science
and human health. Our years of research and experience in understanding
the connection between buildings and how they effect human health
allow us to quickly define and execute the required research.
Client
Education
We talk their language, from baseline client
education to understanding the special needs required by the chemically
sensitive.
Value
Engineering
We analyze the cost effectiveness of the options
during the design and specification process to assure the greatest
value for the money spent.
Material
Sourcing
We know the sources for non-toxic, environmental,
and natural products. We have experience in how they last, how
they perform, and where to get them.
Budget
Targeting
We know what alternative building methods and
material costs. We can work directly with the Contractor and Sub-Contractors to define
the price and meet the budget.

Companies
that move into healthy buildings have experienced a decreased absenteeism
of 15%-25% with a corresponding rise of productivity.
Office workers salaries are larger than all other commercial expenditures
combined for most businesses. Investing in a building that will
increase productivity will yield the largest return on an investment
that can be made...the potential of a healthy, productive human
being.
Sustainable Building,
