  • The first case study is a Victorian home that had been plagued with comfort and health issues.
  • The second house is a 1950s ranch that was merely a furnace and air conditioning upgrade until the entire house was examined.
  • The third project is a 1950s two-story home that began as a health hazard and turned into healthy home.
