Allergies today affect millions and one of the issues facing so many is the discussion of healthy buildings. As part of any general survey I perform for clients, I spend a great deal of time with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The #1 thing I can tell all who read this is check your filters.

This is not always as easy at is seems. All to often these are place on the ceiling, rooftops, attics and the list of difficult accessible places goes on. The reason is that no one wants to look at an ugly grill. Lifestyle Improvement places the location of these grills into the design. Placement oftentimes does the trick!

A grill on a door leading to the filter, placed on the wall in a utility room, etc. Once these filters are placed in a more accessible location, we might just incorporate the routine of changing filters into our schedules. The result will be a healthier environment and in many cases, allergies have been significantly reduced.
