If someone believes they're going to be able to have optimal indoor air quality simply by providing ventilation through opening windows and doors, that is not true.

We need a stable environment.

We need an indoor air environment that we can easily control.

The only way you can do that is with an airtight building envelope with a high performance filtration system. Good to have

the windows there for backup in case the power goes out so that you can naturally ventilate

the building. But important that we look at really the house as a system. And if the house is able to be

a controlled system, meaning airtight, vapor tight, watertight, and thermal bridge-free protected, now the house is easily to control.

And if we can control the air quality in a home, we can also control our health when we're inside that home.

Welcome to Care More Be Better, a podcast that explores people and projects

regenerating our planet and reshaping systems to protect life and ensure our future. Today, we're diving

They actively support human health.
