Book excerpt: "Four years in the making, this 4th edition of "Prescriptions for a Healthy House" is a comprehensive update addressing the latest in an ever-changing landscape of health research and building practices. This edition is greatly expanded from the previous editions with new sections on furnishing and maintaining a healthy home and many other topics never before covered. Paula Baker-Laporte, an architect, and John Banta, an Industrial Hygienist and mold expert, have put together a veritable treasure trove of useful and often difficult-to-find information. The recommendations are based on research and decades of experience “in the trenches.” The book is pertinent to anyone interested in building or remodeling a home or workplace that is not only beautiful, but also durable and health-enhancing. Although there is nothing complicated about constructing healthier homes, building for health is still not standard practice, and in fact there are many aspects of conventional home construction that are detrimental to human wellbeing. From foundation to rooftop, to home care and repair, Prescriptions for a Healthy House takes the mystery out of healthy-house building, renovation and maintenance, by walking the owner/architect/builder team through the entire construction process."--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finding and Keeping a Healthy House Embedding wood in concrete that is near the soil is also dangerous. If wood is laid on a concrete slab, there should be a moisture barrier under or on the slab. Where no barrier is pres ent, the wood should be pressure-treat ed with preservatives. Posts resting on concrete floors can be protected by placing them on raised bases. Water drainage away from the house is very important. Check for drainage by looking for puddles after a heavy rain. If the site is not level, subsurface tile drains may have to be installed on the upslope side to direct water around rather than under the house.
