RB says - we must understand that we don't condition buildings - we condition people who live in buildings.

When we grasp this principle the quality of indoor environments will go up as it did when indoor air quality became an issue.

However indoor air quality and indoor comfort quality are related but definitely not the same.

You can be uncomfortable whilst breathing in fresh clean air (think sitting on chair lift on a cold winter day) as well be comfortable while breathing in contaminated air (think carbon monoxide poisoning).

 

 



Our Sole Purpose...
 To offer a free research based education on health, wellness and comfort using radiant based HVAC systems as solutions to indoor environmental complaints. 

www.healthyheating.com is not a manufacturer, it does not buy, sell or distribute equipment nor does it do installations. It is a not for profit educational resource site. The content contributions are volunteer based. We do exchange documents for donations, offer select pages for sponsorship opportunities and use revenue from Google AdSense to support the operating costs of the site.

Our Number One Positioning Statement...
 Homes owned by those approaching or already enjoying retirement should be designed as self contained residential healthcare centers starting with healthcare standards in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Our Top Five Snap Shot Visions - others are developing…

 We see the aging of a relatively wealthy North America driving a change in indoor thermal comfort specifications.

 We see a continuing decline of skilled tradesmen in a rising demand for technology enhanced HVAC systems during a period of demographic significance.

 We see an integration of air and water based systems to deliver both air quality and comfort quality in our homes.

 We see a evolution of combining technology and systems into pre-engineered, preassembled, prepackaged HVAC, which includes proven combustion and power generation equipment.

 We see healthyheating.com as being an online educational leader and source of unbiased materials contributing to the advancement of commerce based comfort systems.

Our Missions are many - here's a few…

 To educate consumers on the relationship between our physiology (body), psychology (mind) and home environments (spaces).

 To bring public awareness to the otherwise "obscure" codes, standards and guidelines available to the homeowner for use in specifying home health, wellness, and comfort systems.

 To make unbiased fact based information including architectural and mechanical design and specifications available to consumers.

 To reposition in our consumer mind, the meaning of a heating, cooling and ventilations system from being something which happens to buildings to something which influences our aging process as much as diet, exercise or plastic surgery.

Our Strategies…what we do...

 We use our industry seminars to bring awareness to the marketing of HVAC systems; particularly the evolution of hybrid systems.

 We support our missions with design seminars through industry associations such as RPA, ASHRAE, HRAI, CIPH , AHAC, ASID, OAA, AIA etc…

 We use editorials in various magazines to discuss industry related issues.

 We use eBooks to distribute unbiased sound information to help consumers, designers, manufacturers, contractors and distributors deliver health, wellness and comfort systems

 We make available written specifications and architectural and mechanical schematics, which can be integrated into the clients building contracts.

 We contract with influential clients to develop missions, strategies, and tactics to fulfill those purposes and visions, which we have in common.

Our Tactics…how we do them...

 We work with contractors, distributors, engineers, and manufactures on site, in the field, or in the classroom on how to look at the industry through the feelings of an aging consumer who wants to tell us their opinions…the body of a 20, 30 or 40 year old is not the same as a 50 to 90 year old…seniors living within building built for the youth isn't good business.

 We train individuals on human physiology and psychology to facilitate the communication between consumer demands and construction deliverables…changes the industry from "here's what you get" to "what does your body need".

 We reveal the content of "obscure" codes, standards, and guidelines and make them understandable to the public so individuals can play a greater role in determining what they want to own as a health, wellness, and comfort system in their home. ASHRAE Standard 55 has been around for over a decade yet over 95% of the industry is not aware of its existence.

 We avoid, detour or debunk specific industry status quo, which prevents consumers from living with improved thermal environments. As one client said to us..."If I as an aging person am building my last space by investing 15% of a construction contract on my homes health, wellness and comfort system…shouldn't I be able to talk with the mechanical contractor directly responsible for creating my environment?" Makes perfect sense to us! So we're here to help you talk with the right people at the beginning of your project.

“To have a home is more than the mere fact of having a roof above one's head. It is having a house (a place for oneself), a place which protects privacy, contributes to physical and psychological well being, contributes to the development and social integration of its inhabitants - a central place for human life.” World Health Organization


“The quality of housing conditions plays a decisive role in the health status of the residents, because many health problems are either directly or indirectly related to the building itself, the construction materials that were used, and the equipment or the size or structure of the individual dwellings.”
The World Health Organization
