The Pillars of Building Biology Connection

  • Mould Toxicity

    One in three homes in Australia are classifiable as “water damaged”. Certain species of mould proliferate in such conditions releasing harmful mycotoxins which one in four of the population do not have the natural immune defences to fight. Simply killing mould does not eradicate their allergy causing spores. Water intrusion must be eliminated at its source and water damaged materials removed. Get to the root cause of long term illness by assessing your home or work environment now.

  • EMF Radiation

    We go through our day unaware we are accumulating high doses of electromagnetic fields. Our vital organs are vulnerable to the rapid aging effects of free radicals induced by man-made electrical and communication networks. If the assault continues at night the body's ability to repair is overwhelmed and disease sets in. Have your home or workplace assessed against international safety guidelines and learn to manage personal electronic devices with your family's health in mind.

  • Air Pollution

    Pollution

    Have you considered that most people spend 90% of their life indoors, breathing in toxic by-products of consumer goods, furnishings and building products. A building issue or poor habits can attract allergy causing pests, with house dust mites being the leading cause of asthma and hayfever worldwide. And consider that our chemically treated drinking water sits stagnant in household plumbing that leach toxic metals. Assess your home's toxic load and make changes that will have far reaching benefits.

  • Healthy Home Construction

    Construction

    There is no better opportunity for the creation of passive health benefits than at the design stage of new construction. We team up with your Architect or Builder to edit plans and specify the most inert building materials to avoid pollutants, minimise condensation and mould, and strategically mitigate EMF exposure. Then at the construction stage: comment on materials sourced, inspect details executed on site and check substrates before laying materials and closing up cavities.
