What is Building Biology?

“Building Biology is the evaluation and control of health hazards in the built environment. This involves assessing the home for allergens, toxicants in air and water, electromagnetic fields and biotoxins unique to a water-damaged building, and providing strategies to address exposure and/or source control and abatement” Nicole Bijlsma (Principal and Founder of ACES)

How HouseHealthy is your home?

Was your home built prior to 1970?

Do you plan to renovate or repaint your pre 1970 home?

Do you have any brass tap fittings?

Has there been a history of water damage in the home?

Is there any visible mould and/or do you notice a damp, musty odour?

Do you feel better when you spend time away from your home?

There is sufficient evidence of an association between indoor dampness-related factors and a wide range of respiratory or allergic health effects.
