EnviroHealth Premier™
Precision forensics for your forever home.
What is EnviroHealth Premier™?
We created EnviroHealth Premier™ in response to a recurring request from our most discerning clients.
They recognized that our team offered four specialized capabilities that were offered as separate services:
Indoor environmental investigation to identify mold, chemical, gas, and other indoor air quality issues at a highly detailed level.
Building-forensics to identify design flaws, performance issues, and opportunities to improve the building envelope and redesign moisture control layers when needed.
HVAC design to revamp the home’s mechanical systems—whether to correct moisture and indoor air quality issues or to maximize performance, comfort, and overall air quality.
Healthy-home design consultation to help renovating homeowners and new construction builders optimize a home for exceptional indoor air quality and environmental quality through thoughtful design.
Our clients wanted all of our disciplines brought together under one comprehensive service. EnviroHealth Premier was created to deliver exactly that.
Service Comparison
A Deeper Level of Investigation
This service brings both our indoor environmentalist and our building scientist into the home to evaluate and enhance factors that affect:
Indoor air quality
Indoor environmental quality
Home performance
Energy efficiency
Comfort
Overall toxic burden
This goes far beyond an inspection that simply looks for obvious issues. It is an engineering-level investigation designed not only to identify past and present issues, defects, and design flaws, but also to optimize the overall function of the home.
A Holistic Evaluation of the Home
Doing this properly requires a deep understanding of a vast range of aspects of the building, including building biology, architecture, engineering principles, chemistry, mechanical components, mechanical design, and more.
It’s incredibly rare to have a single team skilled enough to come in and address all of these aspects simultaneously, especially within the same service.
This possibility creates a wonderful value since the building will be understood holistically. Unfortunately, homeowners typically experience having eight different professionals come in, look at their piece of the building—often not doing a good job in the first place—and fail to comprehend how the issues within their scope affect other aspects of the building.
This is exactly what we see in medicine— you go to different health specialists, and nobody is considering the full picture. They look at one part of you and for anything else, they send you to a different specialists and none of them take the time to fully understand the problem, and nobody is considering the body holistically. This is the same issue within the home.
With EnviroHealth Premier™, we are able to evaluate how everything works together as one interconnected system, with expertise in every subject.
A layered Plan for Your Home
The greatest value of this service is the comprehensive, layered plan you will receive.
Depending on the findings, your recommendations may include:
Detailed recommendations on identified issues and how to fix them.
Remediation protocols for mold and other air quality issues that need to be addressed, tailored to your family’s needs and sensitivities.
Complete engineering-level designs for the building envelope and mechanical systems that provide detailed plans on how these systems should be fixed or maximized.
The result is a clear, digestible action plan that translates complex building issues into practical, easy-to-understand next steps for the homeowner, while providing professional contractors with enough detail to get the job done right.
