What is a Healthy Home

Presented by: Business Alliance for Cummunity Health & HBA of Hartford County A healthy home is one that incorporates healthy design elements, non-toxic building materials, and proper construction techniques. It "breathes", emits no toxic gasses, and is resistant to mold. Learn about the criteria for a healthy home, including the following attributes: • What are the future business opportunities associated with healthy homes. • Reduction of exposure to chemicals through use of non-toxic building materials and products. • Mitigation of mold and rot by employing proper building techniques and materials from foundation to roof. • Utilization of passive airflow, daylighting, and fresh air exchange through proper placement of windows and doors. The benefits are homes that are safer, more comfortable, and require less maintenance. A healthy home is also more energy efficient, and therefore incurs lower monthly operating costs!
