Building Biology Health checks for buildings

Are you concerned that your home or office may be making you sick?

Or do you wish to experience :

  • improved comfort, health and wellbeing e.g. better sleep patterns and energy levels and reduced incidence of allergies, asthma, headaches and other chronic health conditions?
  • relief from the symptoms of sick building syndrome
  •  increased creativity and productivity?
 

 

 

 

We have been able to help both families and businesses improve the health of their indoor environments (read our case studies to see how). In some cases, there were no concerns with the building - testing by our building biologist simply  gave the occupants peace of mind, particularly when babies and young children were involved. In other cases, exposure to health hazards was minimised with easy changes to the living environment e.g. moving around furniture in the room. In a minority of cases, more extensive changes were required.

 

Recently, a story about our work was published in "The Age" in Melbourne, as well as in newspapers in New South Wales and Queensland. Writer Kate Robertson accompanied our Director, Marianne Baker, during a home assessment to get an understanding of how we can help people to create healthier indoor environments.

  • Does Cellsafe really work?
    Recently, there was a story on a national television programme about "Cellsafe", a device that claims to divert mobile phone radiation away from the head when the phone is held to the ear. Alasdair Philips, from "Powerwatch", has written a very informative piece about this device which can be accessed here . In this commentary, he describes not only what Cellsafe does, but also explains that it may actually make mobile phone usage more dangerous rather than making it safer.
Hint of the Week
  • Improve air quality with indoor plants
    To help remove chemicals from indoor air, keep indoor plants. The plants absorb the chemicals, which are then broken down by microbes that live on the plant roots. Good plants to use include Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii), Rubber Plant (Ficus robusta), Dwarf  Date Palm (Phoenix robelenii), Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata "Bostoniensis") and Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum sp.)
