- Think you're ready to remodel? Do your research first.
- Advice from HHI and Jules Elkins, University of Texas-Austin.
- Air-quality testing can be helpful to understand what is wrong with your air, but since there are hundreds or thousands of possible pollutants, and testing for them all is impossible, a test result may be misleading.
- PVC has definite issues, but with 80,000 or so total chemicals in legal use, and with it all mixing in the environment (‘better living through chemistry’?) it is hard to establish causality or a singular ‘smoking gun’.
- Ice damming — which can lead to mold, mildew, or rot — can sometimes occur with improperly vented roofs in the winter.
- Radon reduction usually involves one or more mitigation strategies.
- Three misconceptions about tight houses are: 1. They have poor IAQ, 2.They have mold and moisture problems, and 3. Chimneys don't work well in them.
- That is the debate HHI has been having with a few industry leaders from the home ventilation sector.
- Balanced ventilation uses two fans that operate simultaneously, one to blow fresh air indoors and one to blow stale air outdoors—so the house experiences a neutral pressure.
- Following are questions and answers posed to HHI by Content That Works, a group "dedicated to helping local media and businesses thrive by creating high-quality editorial products that attract readers."
- So, exactly what is indoor air pollution?
- How does an induction cooktop compare with gas and traditional stove burners?
- First of all, we’re now building houses tighter for greater energy efficiency, but without mechanical ventilation systems. And second, we’re filling these tighter houses with synthetic, man-made building materials, furnishings, and cleaning products...
- When using the term “green prefabricated homes”, some of us can’t help but imagine a small double-wide mobile home covered in some sort of mossy overgrowth. While that notion is pretty far out, many of us have preconceived notions about green housing that frankly aren’t true. This book - Prefabulous + Almost Off the Grid - contests these fallacies.
- More than meets the eye certainly describes this amazing technology - where your ordinary houseplant becomes an efficient VOC remover.
- Learn what combustion byproducts, natural draft, and home air-pressure have to do with a backdrafting chimney and your health.
- You can lower the levels and impact of noise pollution in your home in surprising ways; for example, start with your exhaust ventilation fans.
- We get a lot of questions about what we call “simplistic solutions to complex situations.” For example, most people want an easy way to solve the problem of poor indoor air quality. Well, we’d like that too and, in some cases, there are relatively simple solutions. But in many cases, the solution isn’t easy.
- Focusing on more than traditional ways to remove VOCs and allergens in the air can lead to better prevention and treatment of allergies and asthma.
- HHI Staff and EverydayHealth.com give simple tips to minimizing indoor allergy triggers.
