An Industry-Leading Comprehensive Assessment from SENERGY360, LLC

  • SENERGY360 sets the industry standard with its pioneering and comprehensive Healthy Home Assessment, a highly sought-after service. Whether you are dealing with building plans for new construction sites or existing homes and structures, we offer a spectrum of solutions. Our services range from basic plan reviews to thorough onsite assessments and evaluations, providing you with the resources and knowledge needed to establish a healthy home environment.
  • Our assessments typically take one (1) to two (2) days depending on the size of the project, its complexities, and necessary involvement. Our on-site assessment provides in-depth insights from a Building Biologist perspective, covering everything from rooftop to foundation. Our assessment encompasses fundamental measurements of on-site EMF conditions, mold sampling, and indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments, including total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and formaldehyde.
  • The EMR/EMF and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) aspects within the Healthy Home Assessment scope are presented as an overview only. This part of the assessment helps identify potential short and long-term issues, pinpointing premature failures or anything that may pose potential adverse health effects for our clients. These are opportunities for further review.
  • This comprehensive assessment includes recommendations outlined in our Healthy Home Inspection Checklist (see below). This is a one-time onsite inspection for each project. We offer support beyond the assessment at our consulting rate of $150/hr. For clients just looking for specific inspections we also offer EMRS and Environmental Indoor Air Quality and Mold Assessments separately.
