Prescriptions for a Healthy House, 3rd Edition: A Practical Guide for Architects, Builders & Homeown

As a Building Biologist I work with people who want healthier homes and there is no better resource for creating a healthy home than this book. Every builder, architect and home remodeler needs to read this book before they start their next project. It's cutting edge thinking.

My wife and I are building a new home and I am someone who pays a lot of attention to things that can affect the health of my family. I unfortunately don't trust the world and the government to fully protect us. They do a great job on average, but sometimes the specifics fail (contamination in water supply, cancer causing high voltage lines too close to houses, etc.). Also, in todays world of "build it cheap" the entire contracting industry is pushed towards cutting corners and not paying attention to things that can cause serious health issues. This book is FANTASTIC! It discusses all of the relevant issues in building a healthy home, and finds the right balance between being readable to a layperson like me, and yet organized well for the contractors (things to include in your spec separated into the 16 Divisions, which is how the contractors look at building a house). I could not recommend this book more highly and already sent another 3 copies to friends and family.

This book is so valuble. Every builder or renovator should read this, as well as anyone who wants a healthy home. I learned about this book from several people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, who told me that this was the book that helped them build a home they could live in. That's a rare thing to be able to do, as many people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities cannot find a healthy building they can live in.
