The EPA has over 35,000 articles on healthy buildings but as a wellness professional have you ever asked yourself “can my patient’s home be making them sick?” As a builder do you think about the health of a home before driving that first nail? Green homes are popping up around the country. They are energy efficient so they save us money and to some extent they reduce toxic levels in the home. But does Green go far enough? Does Green promote health and well being in a home? Getting answers to these questions is the reason to attend the Natural Building, Healthy Building Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, April 19th & 20th 2008.
