Indoor environmental consultants to the commercial real estate industry worldwide, providing indoor air quality monitoring, documentation and environmental design analysis to building owners. Until the early 1980's, there were no companies specializing in treating indoor air quality problems. But when outbreaks of unexplained illnesses in buildings began to occur in greater frequency, it became clear that specialists were needed to deal with this burgeoning problem. In 1981, Healthy Buildings International (HBI) became one of the first such companies in the United States. Healthy Buildings International developed the technology to diagnose and treat sick buildings through the use of high-tech instruments, analytical equipment, and laboratory analyses, and pioneered the "building systems approach" in the prevention of IAQ problems. In the years since 1981, HBI has inspected over 4,000 major buildings encompassing over 500 million square feet for over 600 separate clients in 45 countries throughout the world. The company has expanded to operate successful offices outside the major metropolitan areas of Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, London, Belfast, Glasgow and Sydney. Our proactive Approach: In the early years, Healthy Buildings International's work was comprised mainly of reactive work. Building owners and property managers, faced with the repercussions of building related environmental problems, commissioned HBI to solve the problems before the situation worsened. Toward the end of the decade HBI developed the concept of ongoing proactive monitoring programs for indoor air quality — a concept, which today is being adopted as standard operating procedure throughout the property management and facility management communities. Besides instituting the benefits of a "prevention over cure" technical strategy, Healthy Buildings International effectively positions these programs for its clients as a powerful communication and managerial tool. This tool invariably brings the organizations represented enhanced public relations and marketability. Today the majority of Healthy Buildings International's business is proactive, with hundreds of clients around the world who rely on HBI to achieve their indoor air quality goals. Most of HBI's business relationships are ongoing and constantly expanding as firms' portfolios grow and they desire the benefits of Healthy Buildings International’s proactive IAQ program for all their building occupants.
