New Medical Advisory Board Backs Protocols to Prevent IAQ Complaints Among Allergy- and Sensitivity-Prone Buyers

Abita Springs, LA — The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI™) has launched a Medical Advisory Board to help custom and green homebuilders respond to one of today’s fastest-growing buyer concerns: indoor air quality (IAQ). The Board, chaired by Dr. Andrew Heyman, MD, a nationally recognized environmental health expert, brings clinical insight to construction protocols—ensuring homes are safe for individuals with allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, and mold-related illness.

This new initiative validates NORMI’s Level Four Protocol, a medically endorsed process designed to assess and remediate hidden environmental risks that can develop before a new home is even sold.

Why It Matters to Builders

Today’s high-performance homes are energy efficient, tightly sealed—and often prone to trapped contaminants like:

• VOCs from adhesives, sealants, and cabinetry
• Moisture buildup in tight wall cavities or mechanical systems
• Off-gassing from finishes, insulation, and flooring
• Mold risks from framing delays or improper HVAC startup

“Buyers walking into a brand-new home are getting itchy eyes, headaches, or shortness of breath—and they’re blaming the builder,”
— Doug Hoffman, Executive Director, NORMI™

NORMI’s enhanced protocol helps custom builders stay ahead of complaints, avoid remediation costs, and offer a differentiated product toward a cleaner, safer, and  healthier indoor environment—a growing competitive edge in luxury, wellness, and green building markets.  www.MoldFreeConstruction.com 

Backed by Leading Medical Professionals

The Medical Advisory Board features top experts in environmental medicine, pharmacy, and neuropsychiatry who understand how built environments impact human health:

• Dr. Andrew Heyman, MD – Environmental Medicine Director, GWU
• Jim LaValle, RPh – Clinical Pharmacist, Author, Metabolic Code
• Ray Solano, RPh – Compounding Pharmacist, Functional Medicine Expert
• Dr. Ross, MD – Director, Virginia Institute of Neuropsychiatry
• Allison Remy, PA – Integrative Health Provider

Says Dr. Heyman:

“We’ve seen patients react negatively to homes that were built ‘to code.’ That’s not good enough anymore. NORMI is giving builders and inspectors a real, medically informed solution. Patients are being treated for mold-related illnesses while still exposed to the source. The Level Four Protocol finally gives remediation professionals a clear path forward. The NORMI™ Medical Advisory Board has reviewed the NORMI™ level 4 protocol and validates it as implemented by the NORMI™ trademarked NCRSI™ (Certified Remediation for Sensitized Individuals) professional, as medically sound remediation and offers a superior alternative to the industry standard which often fails the needs of sensitized patients.”

How Builders Can Use This Protocol

The Level Four Protocol, delivered through the NCRSI™ credential, can be applied at multiple points in the construction cycle:

• During framing – to detect and mitigate mold from moisture events
• Pre-close walkthroughs – to confirm IAQ safety for sensitive buyers
• Warranty callbacks – to respond professionally to post-sale complaints
• Marketing strategy – to promote your homes as “medically backed for IAQ safety”
