Healthy Home Construction Tech


I am building three healthy homes and I am looking for anyone's experience or problems they incountered along the way. The technique I am going to use is the bubble approach: Create a balloon effect from the drywall into the living area. So that no chemicals can penetrate or off-gases into the living space. I will than set-up a air exchange system to the outside, very controlled. Even interior walls will be sealed from living space and vented to the attic or ceiling cavity than vented out.

Any ideas?

Is somebody here expecting a tear gas raid?

Do ya have the extra circuits in the basement for the heat lamps, or the Miracle grow filtration system piped right into the feed lines, just trying to help ya cover your bases.

Good stuff Bob. Watch out for the copters, they run infrared now.

Do people really buy these things? Sounds like a real pricey pad for a paranoid hypochondriac.

Are these homes for people with severe respritory illnesses? Just curious what your reasons are for building such technoligically advanced ventilation systems.

Re: Healthy Home Construction Tech


How about children from all three families that can rid themselves of toxic metals, the type we use in everyday construction. The three families are related and the children would love to be healthy or better yet not sick when theey are in their own house or bedroom.

For the other reasons everyone mentioned, just get high and not try to be different.
