Who are we?
www.healthyheating.com
is a volunteer based not for profit educational resource
serving as a technical interpreter and consolidator of academic
research done within the building and health sciences.

Who we are not.
www.healthyheating.com
is not a manufacturer, it does not buy, sell or distribute
equipment nor does it do contracting.
How are we funded (and we're always looking for funding!)
We offer a document for donation exchange, offer select
pages for sponsorship opportunities and use revenue from
Google AdSense to support the operating costs of the site.
We also have a new
Donate to Educate program involving our seminar
offering.
Contact us for details if you wish to help out by
sponsoring
one or more pages with your logo placement, submitting content,
sponsoring seminars and webinars or making
a financial donation.
Our audience:
We serve the general public, practitioners, students and
professionals from the health and building sciences.
Our Sole Purpose:
To offer a free research
based education on using building science with radiant
based HVAC systems as energy efficient solutions to
indoor environmental quality challenges.
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 science based indoor
environmental quality 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 the consumer mind, that
elements of architecture, particularly interior design and
HVAC must be repositioned as being part of the healthcare
industry instead of the construction industry.
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 the HHI,
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.
