About the Guild Founded by green building pioneers in 1993, the Guild has become a community of construction-related professionals, homeowners, and partners concerned with ecological building in the Pacific Northwest.

The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild’s Mission is to support through education the progressive work of our members in the Pacific Northwest in order to improve the relationship between our communities and our built environment.

We provide open-source educational tools to the construction industry and the general public in order to encourage building practices that dramatically reduce carbon emissions, are self-sustaining, contribute to local economies, and create optimal conditions for human health and community. We consider the needs of the seventh generation in all that we do and encourage inclusive discourse to that end. We invite you to join us in becoming part of this community.

Learn More and Participate!

Visit us at EcoBuilding.Org for more information about the Guild, its mission, its members, and how you can join to help us push the envelope.

IS VENTILATION REALLY NECESSARY? Today’s home and building codes are driving more airtight, energy-conscious construction. As a result, maintaining healthy, balanced indoor air quality is much more important now. A properly designed ventilation system prevents moisture and costly moisture-related damage, reduces maintenance, improves a home’s durability, and saves energy.

Think of ventilation in a home like the air exchange that takes place in your lungs. Each time you inhale and exhale, old and contaminated air is removed while fresh, oxygen-rich air is brought in to replace it. Your home’s ventilation system serves the same purpose by removing old, musty air and replenishing the home with clean, healthy air. Simply put, a home has to breathe.

Harmful pollutants found in every home Stale, uncirculated air breeds all sorts of harmful pollutants inside a home. These include mold, mildew, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, viruses, and bacteria. Accumulation of these pollutants can result in hazardous health effects for occupants and structural damage to the home.

How to improve indoor air quality The first line of defense against poor indoor air quality is to reduce or remove the source of pollutants.

Paints, solvents, or other chemicals should be stored outside the dwelling. If you use an attached garage for storage, make sure there’s an airtight seal between the garage and the rest of the home.

Better still, use building materials and cleaning products with low toxicity levels.

Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to completely eliminate all indoor pollutants. Mechanical ventilation is your only protection against these harmful elements. A home with a ventilation design system offers higher quality air, better health for the home – and a comfortable living environment for the entire family.
