Gas Stove Reality Check: Why Banning Gas Cooking is Not the Whole Story

As we've learned, and continue to learn, from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's 'HOMEChem' and 'CASA' experiments (https://indoorchem.org/projects/), the chemistry, microbiology, and physics of the indoors is complicated. That's why doing something 'nice' like banning the manufacture or sale of gas cooking ranges might be a misguided step that'll make regulators feel good, but leave us hanging on a TON of other side effects that are still not addressed.

How Air Pressure Can Screw Up Your Home: the House of Pressure

Take a tour of the dynamics of home pressure with Jake Nuckolls at the Building Performance Center in Bellingham, WA. This training tool has made the invisible visible for thousands of home performance professionals, and we thought everybody else should get to see it in action too!

Healthy Homes for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Tonight I interviewed Corinne Segura (https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/), one of my Mastermind students who helps people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (aka MCS, or Environmental Sensitivity), which she also suffers from herself. We discuss how home building and home improvements need to adapt to people with this condition, applied specifically to the TinyLab and our new 3,000 sq ft house that's almost finished.

Supply Ventilation for Homes: Mythbusting Side Effects

'Home Diagnosis' co-creator and building science trainer Corbett Lunsford has told many students that supply-only ventilation is dangerous for homes in cold climates- but is that scientifically proven? Watch performance testing that will demonstrate exactly what happens (or doesn't happen) when pressurizing a house with supply ventilation from outdoors.

Science of Home Quarantine Pt 1: COVID-19 Pandemic Medical/Chemical Impacts Indoors

Please consider supporting our work in the frontier of making the science of homes mainstream at: http://Patreon.com/HomeDiagnosisTV

If we were guinea pigs for indoor chemistry and home performance dynamics before this Coronavirus pandemic, how much more so now that we're all spending almost 100% of our time inside our homes? In this first part of a three-part series with Healthy Indoors Magazine, hear a discussion of the home performance dynamic impacts this quarantine period is having on us all.

Featuring Dr. Michelle Sanborn, MD, Joe Medosch of Hayward Score (http://HaywardScore.com), Dr. Delphine Farmer PhD of HOMEChem, and Bob Krell of Healthy Indoors.

Resource 5: Why Soap Works https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/health/soap-coronavirus-handwashing-germs.html

In Part Two of our three-part panel discussion, hear a sometimes very in-the-weeds exploration of the community impacts within our buildings. Featuring public health specialist Dr. David Krause, PhD (https://www.healthcarecontractingconsulting.com), indoor environmental expert Scott Armour (https://armourappliedscience.com/), HVAC investigator and hygienist Tim Hebert (https://www.apsihc.com/), and Bob Krell of Healthy Indoors.

The final session in this panel discussion series from March 19, 2020 dives pretty deeply into technical niches of cleaning and disinfecting commercial, industrial, and healthcare facilities. Featuring IAQ and retrocommissioning expert Kristofer Anderson, PE , outbreak and chemical expert Cole Stanton (http://ICPgroup.com), and building investigator Bob Krell.

The Nasty Side Effects of Chlorine Bleach in Homes

Chlorine is an ingredient in bleach, which many people use to clean surfaces, dishes, and clothing at home. Turns out, it's not as clean as we thought- learn how to control your HOMEChem by knowing what happens when chrlorine in bleach reacts with the stuff indoors, and what it might be doing to your family.

Featuring HOMEChem scientists Marina Vance, Delphine Farmer, and Richard Corsi.

OZONE: the Original Villain of Indoor Chemistry

Indoor Air Quality is being explored at breakneck speed with the HOMEChem Experiment, and not surprisingly, ozone (O3) is proving to be the original villain in the complex system of interactions that make the air we breathe much more worrisome than anyone guessed. Featuring HOMEChem scientists Marina Vance, Delphine Farmer, Charlie Weschler, and Richard Corsi.
