Measurements

We measure the physical factors (air, electroclimate, sound, etc.) that define your environment to evaluate the impact they have on health. Let's rate your health!

Measurements

Most of the homes today have environmental problems related either with the building and decorating materials or with the chemical products and technology used daily. These problems affect the health of the people living within the building.

In Biohabita!, we measure a wide range of physical parameters, which determine the health levels of these houses or work places. These measurements are completed by trained staff and follow stablished protocols aiming to obtain objective and verifiable data.

Factors that determine health

Air quality and thermal parameters

Historically, buildings were built with materials taken directly from nature, with minimal processing. In recent times, so-called synthetic, artificial materials have been massively introduced into buildings, responsible for the appearance of pollutants in the indoor air of buildings. It is currently considered that people spend 90% of their time indoors, which means that the characteristics of the interiors (temperature, humidity, etc.) become of paramount importance.

Biohabita! proposes a 3-stage strategy. First, a campaign of measurements of air quality and factors that affect the indoor environment (temperature, humidity); second, the writing of a descriptive and analytical report of the results with a sanitation proposal; and third, the option of site management of the works is given to execute the sanitation proposal.

The measurements follow the Standard der Baubiologischen Messtechnik SBM 2015 protocol of the Institut für Baubiologie + Nachhaltigkeit (IBN)-Institut Espanyol de Baubiologie (IEB). The measurements will be taken by an official IBN-IEB Radiation Measurement Specialist.

Fields, waves and radiation

Two of the main problematic sources in the technology area inside the buildings are, the electromagnetic waves created by wireless communications and secondly the electric and magnetic fields created by the electric system. These two problematic sources can be found in nearly 100% of the indoor spaces in our homes and work places.

Biohabita! offers a 3-stage strategy. Firstly, a set of measurements for electro smoke; secondly, an assessment report with all the results including a corrective action plan with recommendation; thirdly, an optional follow up of the works to be completed to solve the problems.

Measurements are done under the Standard der Baubiologischen Messtechnik SBM 2015 from Institut für Baubiologie + Nachhaltigkeit (IBN)-Instituto Español de Baubiologie (IEB) protocol. These measurements are carried out by a IEB specialist on Building Biology Measurements.

Geopathic stress zones

There is a flow of natural electric charge and electromagnetic fields, coming up from the earth, which affect all living being’s health in the planet. These flows come from radioactive minerals which are disintegrating continuously. Another contributing factor is the earth’s electromagnetism and thirdly the ongoing potential differences between the earth’s surface and the ionized atmosphere. We call all of these phenomena, the earth’s natural radiations. While they are present on all land spaces and plots, the strength and intensity can vary from one spot to another. One should avoid long term exposures, where the intensity is at its strongest.

Biohabita! offers a set of measurements combining radioactivity and magnetic levels in order to identify these geopathic stress zones.

Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas which may be found in high concentrations in indoor environments, such as homes and workplaces.
Radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer.
Some soils and rocks, depending on their mineral composition, emit radon gas that can infiltrate inside buildings and accumulate indoors. Radon can also be found in water.
Well-tested, durable and cost-efficient methods exist for preventing radon entry into new buildings and reducing radon in existing buildings.
Radon concentration indoors can easily be measured with a small passive detector.

Biohabita! offers a measurement campaign to detect the presence of radon gas, a report analyzing the results and a proposal for protective actions if necessary.
