Could Your Home Be Affecting Your Health?

We spend most of our lives indoors, so the air, moisture, warmth and electrical environment of a home all matter. If someone in your family has an ongoing health concern, having your home checked can help rule out possible stressors.

Specialists Who Can Check Your Home

New Zealand does not yet have consultants trained in every aspect of building biology. These independent specialists each cover part of the picture. Please talk to your GP as well: a home check works alongside medical care, not instead of it.

A calm approach helps. Some effects are subtle, and worrying about them can add stress of its own. Professional testing can confirm a problem before you spend money fixing it.

These are independent businesses. BBE is a research and teaching institute: we do not inspect homes, and we do not guarantee the work of the specialists listed. Details checked November 2026.

Want to Do This Work Yourself?

New Zealand needs more people trained in healthier homes. The BBE Certificate in Ecological Building and Design is the place to start.
