Healthy Buildings USA believes that light and comfort are natural partners to energy efficient homes.

Healthy Buildings USA, have significantly reduced installation time with their prefab panels made with materials that are healthier for the planet, and healthier for you by manufacturing with non-toxic materials that won’t off-gas or degrade air quality. Having a comfortable and toxin free home gives you the peace of mind while also contributing to a more sustainable planet. Their elegant building systems also optimize natural light with well placed windows, and spacious modern open floor plans.

Some finishes to consider that contribute to a healthy building are formaldehyde-free cabinets, interior cladding materials, insulation, and cements. Choose paints that have low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Use non-toxic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in your doors or windows. Create a building envelope that is air tight which keeps energy costs down, but remember to also ventilate with natural air to maintain toxin-free indoor air. Indoor plants can also help filter air and reduce Co2. Image curtesy of Healthy Homes USA
