Healthy Homes & Buildings
Building Biology for Healthier Living
Building Biology is the study of how the built environment impacts human health. It takes a holistic view of indoor spaces, looking beyond code compliance or design trends to focus on what actually supports long-term well-being.
Healthy buildings create healthier families. By supporting restorative sleep, better air, balanced light, and lower stress on the body, Building Biology design reduces the hidden costs of poor health, headaches, allergies, fatigue, and doctor visits. The return is felt in everyday life: kids who sleep better, parents with more energy, and a home that supports wellbeing instead of working against it. A healthier home is an investment that pays back daily in comfort, vitality, and peace of mind.
We use science-backed frameworks to evaluate indoor air quality, water purity, lighting conditions, toxic materials, and exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), then help you make informed decisions to improve them.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most people spend 90% of their lives indoors. Yet few consider the biological impact of their built environment.
What We Assess
Light
Supports circadian rhythm, hormone balance, and overall vitality by aligning indoor light with natural patterns.
EMF & Wiring
Reduces unnecessary electromagnetic exposure, which is increasingly associated with sleep disruption, stress, and long-term health concerns.
Air Quality
Improves respiratory health by reducing allergens, pollutants, and moisture issues that can trigger fatigue or illness.
Water Quality
Evaluates and addresses contaminants, ensuring clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, a foundation for resilient health.
Materials & Finishes
Prioritizes natural, low-toxin finishes that minimize chemical load while creating durable, comfortable, and restorative spaces.
MOLD
We inspect homes for mold and moisture issues that can compromise indoor air quality and health. This includes identifying water damage, leaks, condensation, and inadequate ventilation. Mold exposure can contribute to allergies, asthma, fatigue, and other health concerns.
THIS IS ONLY THE START
The 25 Principles of Building Biology go far beyond the walls of any single home or building. They focus on creating environments that support:
Site & Community Design Selecting safe locations that avoid hazards, maximize sunlight and airflow, and strengthen our connection to nature.
Occupant Wellbeing Designing with ergonomics, acoustics, and proportions in mind to influence how we feel, function, and thrive in a space.
Environmental Responsibility Emphasizing sustainable sourcing, energy efficiency, and the full lifecycle impact of building materials.
Proof of Health
We don’t deal in greenwashing or guesswork. Our approach is measured, transparent, and lasting, rooted in values like proof of work. It may cost more up front, but what you gain is real.
The modern building industry is often fast-paced and profit-focused. The result? Materials that off-gas toxins, infrastructures saturated with wireless radiation, and environments that subtly undermine human health.
Building Biology offers another path, one that is intentional, evidence-based, and guided by nature as the ultimate benchmark.
We champion healthier choices: mineral-based paints in place of plastics, copper wiring instead of constant Wi-Fi exposure, fresh air over synthetic fragrances, and circadian-supportive lighting instead of harsh, flickering LEDs. Step by step, these choices create living and working spaces that are not only healthier, but more resilient and life-affirming.
COMMERCIAL Building Biology
Healthy workplaces aren’t just ethical, they’re strategic. Building Biology services for commercial spaces focus on employee wellbeing, performance, and long-term building value. International studies show improved indoor environments reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and even raise property desirability. Whether in Canada, Mexico, or El Salvador, our work is grounded in global best practices. Bitcoin is also accepted for commercial services, aligning your project with resilient, future-ready finance.
Certification & Expertise
Edda is committed to international Building Biology standards. We are completing formal training through the Building Biology Institute, with certification as a Building Biology Advocate (BBA, 2025) and Environmental Consultant (BBEC, 2026). This ensures clients in Canada, Mexico, and El Salvador benefit from globally recognized best practices.
We ACCEPT BITCOIN
We’Ve making it easier than ever to support healthier spaces. In addition to traditional payment methods, we encourage payment in Bitcoin as a way to honor choice, resilience, and independence
