Healthy New Building Consultant

You have reached the website for Environmental Design and Inspection Services, dedicated to improving the impact that buildings have on the health of your family and employees. Use this site to find ways to make your home and office more healthy.

We offer environmental home and office inspections. We also consult on ways to design and build a healthy new home and office or remodel an exisiting one. Telephone consultations for all services are available throughout North America (we are also Skype-enabled, so if you have a webcam, we can communicate by video conference). On-site evaluations are available in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

"EMF" (electric and magnetic field) evaluation and mitigation is our specialty, although all Building BiologyTM services are available. These include the detection of chemical outgassing and leaks of natural gas and carbon monoxide, and screening for mold, lead, radon and asbestos.

We also provide consultations for healthy new home design and construction. Click on Services for the full range of services that we offer. To learn more about programs that certify your new or remodeled home as "green" and sustainable, click here.

Healthy, nontoxic building materials are recommended from such retailers as Green Building Supply, who offer everything from low- and no-VOC paint to nontoxic flooring, countertops and furniture.

Our healthy building evaluations identify and reduce household causes of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chemical sensitivities. Over sixty percent of our clients already have these symptoms. Almost all report improvement once the household sources of ill health have been identified and reduced. The remaining forty percent are relatively asymptomatic but consult with us to make their home more healthy and keep these problems from developing in the first place.

Click on Comments from Clients to read unsolicited reports from those who have improved from one of our healthy home evaluations.

Click on Tips for a Healthy Home to read and print out useful information on the Building BiologyTM approach to eliminating EMFs in your home and office, improving air quality, reducing chemical sensitivities and mold, and constructing a healthy new home. These same topics are discussed in more detail in several Articles.

To support our position that exposure to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs) is harmful and that currently accepted levels of exposure are too high, click on "EMF research citations." There you will find links to numerous websites where you will find documentation of these harmful effects.

A companion page is just below it, including links to websites with research on the adverse health effects of wireless communications and information-carrying radio frequencies from cell phones, cordless telephones and wireless internet routers (Wi-Fi). A new page follows with video and audio links on the dangers of wireless technologies, including radio and television interviews and videos of lectures.

Those three pages are updated regularly as new information is released on the harmful effects of exposure to EMFs, primarily from the European and Canadian press.

A new page has been added with links to radio interviews that Oram has provided on national and local Minnesota radio stations. Click here for the links.

You can also see reports of the potential dangers of exposure to wireless communications presented by Oram Miller, BBEI to the Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, City Council during their deliberations on the deployment of a city-wide Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) system that has also been deployed throughout greater Minneapolis.

Oram Miller, BBEI, who personally conducts these on-site and telephone consultations, is available as a speaker and writer on the topic of healthy homes. Click on Lecture Schedule to see the schedule of upcoming presentations. Click here to see articles written by Oram.

We also offer a healthy new building manual, compiled by Oram in collaboration with George Swanson, BBEI, builder and Building BiologistTM in Austin, Texas, and Wayne Federer in Wisconsin. The manual is now available and provides healthy protocols for the design and construction of new buildings and the healthy remodeling of existing ones. It is based upon protocols taught by the International Institute for Bau-biologieTM and Ecology (IBE) in Clearwater, Florida. You can order a copy by going to our website www.breathingwalls.com.

If you live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and are interested in learning more about healthy houses, you are welcome to attend our monthly study group called the Mid-West Building Ecology Coalition. We are an open forum that meets to discuss the knowledge of healthy homes. For more information, click here. The meetings are open to all.

All services that we provide are based upon the twenty-five Principles of Bau-biologieTM, the German word for "Building BiologyTM."
