Clean Building
Building clean requires design and building decisions that minimize pollution, which negatively effect the indoor health of your home environment.
By removing aspects of the home that off-gas and/or collect dust and allergens, a healthier interior environment can be achieved.
The average U.S. lifespan before the pandemic was about 79 years, and we spend 69 years inside buildings. Of that, 54 years are spent inside of homes. This information underscores the significant portion of our lives spent within the built environment, emphasizing the importance of indoor spaces in influencing our well-being and overall quality of life.
Understanding these statistics prompts us to consider the impact of indoor environments on our physical health, mental well-being, and overall lifestyle choices. As we navigate the design and maintenance of our living spaces, the emphasis on creating healthy, comfortable, and sustainable indoor environments becomes increasingly imperative, contributing to a holistic approach to promoting wellness and longevity.
