Seminar: Indoor Environmental Quality for New Construction – 2024

October 21, 2024 — October 24, 2024

Mold, volatile organic and inorganic compounds, inadequate ventilation and a host of invisible issues in a home can prove harmful to human health. Our 4-day seminar will show you how to create a home that supports human health, the natural environment, and planetary ecology by teaching you the inverse principle of methods and practices. Explore with us the design and build phase methods that minimize or eliminate indoor environmental toxins.

Join us on this 4-day exploration of materials, furnishings, and finishes, heating and cooling systems, thermal and moisture movement, building envelopes, and safe, sustainable, technologically sound methods and practices aligned with The 25 Building Biology Principles.
