This book is a must have for a homeowner that wants to use building products that are green and admit no VOCs. We’re doing a green remodel. This is the best book for beginners who need someone to tell them what products should or should not be used. The author covered all sorts of information that is really necessary to have a healthy house. Make sure you read the whole book and mark the parts that you need for references. I’m buying the book for family and friends because it is such a valuable resource.

Home is where the heart is – and what’s around the heart can make it unhealthy. Now in a newly revised, updated, and expanded third edition, “Prescriptions For A Healthy House: A Practical Guide for Architects, Builders, & Homeowners” is especially for those who are building homes. “Prescriptions For A Healthy House” discusses how to improve the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of those who would reside in the home being constructed. Looking critically at current building practices, and offering advice on how to improve one’s techniques, “Prescriptions For A Healthy House” is an expert manual on so-called Bau-Biologue – building biology. Highly recommended for community library architecture collections.

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.
