Part 2 of our live event from Zuza's Way in Thiensville Wisconsin. This episode is the Q&A portion of our event. Several great questions from our audience that led into some great conversation with Dagmara Beine PA-C, who does a wonderful job helping us all understand how the home is a critical factor when trying to heal the body.

Water is essential for life, yet can cause so much destruction. Building a healthy home requires the use of many materials, very few as important as what we'll be discussing today. Etienne Gubler of Siga North America joins us today to discuss how his company's tapes, wraps and membranes can eliminate the destructive element of water intrusion, and allow our well-built homes to last far beyond the typical service life we get here in North America. Plus, we take a few questions from the mailbag.

Jay and I today take a deep dive into the extremely important topic of chemical offgassing. What is it? Where does it come from? How long will this last? What are my choices for dealing with it? Folks, I know that I believe every episode of NTE is important. But this one it at the top of the 'important' list! In my eyes, the elimination of offgassing of your building materials is the most crucial aspect of healthy home building or remodeling. I expect you'll listen to this episode a few times, as there's lots of information in it that will help your project. Whether you're painting your home, replacing the carpet or just want to keep the indoor air as pristine as can be, this episode is for YOU!

Imagine painting the exterior of your home and not having to think about it for at least the next 20 years. No fading, no peeling. Maybe think about painting the inside of your new home with no worries of trapped moisture or the smells of unhealthy latex paints. This is what mineral paints can do for you. What is a mineral paint? Why do we want to use them? How do we make the switch from latex to mineral? All these issues will be discussed in this episode with Roy Suttles, the manging director of Keim USA. Keim is the world's leading manufacturer of mineral paints and I think you're going to love what you hear about them.

Whenever Im working with a new client who is trying to figure out an IAQ issue in their home, I'll suggest the use of a Home Air Check test kit. Able to measure VOC's, formaldehyde and active mold, these kits are an invaluable asset, giving us quick and accurate numbers at a very affordable price. We have been working with Sarah Mack and her team for many years and Im excited to discuss their process, how they developed these kits and whats on the testing horizon for Enthalpy.
