STREAMLINE-IT KITS FOR IMMEDIATE EFFICIENCY

“Cody and Lisa took our dream and made it a reality and we are truly grateful…”

There you are, sitting in your sad chair in your sad office, barely moving your eyeballs and fingers. Your back aches and the midday fatigue is starting to settle in. So…it’s time to get up and move!

Just recently a Washington Post reporter interviewed four health experts who had some disturbing news to tell about what sitting for long periods of time does to us.

As we all start to spend more time indoors during the winter, take a minute to ask yourself: Have I changed my filters?

Having an air-tight home with one of our ERVs or HRVs is the best way to ensure you’re breathing clean air. BUT…it doesn’t stop there. You’ll want to check outside the home or office or tiny house and verify the intake and exhaust are clean and free of any obstructions.  Use a vacuum and clean them out. Next it’s time to change the filters. 

Hint: It's not your HVAC.

Question: What do you get when you help a mallard get a job?

Answer: Ductwork!

.....but are those ducts in your house REALLY working?

Hint: it has nothing to do with single-room humidifiers or air purifiers and everything to do with a full-house air flow control.

If you do any kind of google search on indoor air quality or asthma and indoor air quality or allergies and indoor air quality, you’ll find numerous links, reports, and research papers all pointing to the fact that, for most of us with the typical home design, our indoor air is making those conditions worse. Where do all these pollutants come from? 

Last week we highlighted the health and financial benefits of the airtight nature of the allergy and asthma friendly duplex in Loveland, CO. We left off the cherry on whipped cream, didn’t we? That’s right – I’m referring to the solar power element!

Solar is coming to this allergy-friendly/asthma-friendly duplex in Loveland, Colorado! It’s like the cherry on the whip cream – an excellent example of how people and the planet profit the Passive House Way!
