Note: Topics I Don’t Cover
- Remediation of mold, pesticides, lead, radon and asbestos (consult with specialists in those fields).
- Pest control choices (consult with a non-toxic pest control specialist).
- Mechanical systems: HVAC, appliances, electrical system concerns, and water heaters (consult with experts in the required mechanical field).
- Building science advice (should be provided by an architect, engineer, or other building science expert).
- How long does x take to offgas. Unless it’s a simple chemical that has been studied, it’s not likely someone has the answer to this. I have sniff tested many products myself and have experience from thousands of chemically sensitive folks, but I don’t have an answer for most products.
- EMFs/EMR
- Materials outside of North America – Evaluation of building materials and products outside of North America.
- Recommend a builder – I don’t recommend specific builders including tiny house companies. I do have some builders, designers, and architects on my resource page and can guide you through the process of finding a builder. More on why I don’t recommend builders here.
