Healthy Homes for Colorado — Altitude, Radon, and Wildfire-Ready
Home Health Score assessments statewide. GaiaCrete™ for Colorado's cold-dry and alpine climates. Founding Mr Hemp House® dealer territories open by ZIP code.
Radon exposure
Colorado has some of the highest average radon levels in the country. Understanding your home's indoor air quality starts with a Home Health Score assessment that identifies radon and other hidden risks.
Wildfire smoke
Colorado wildfire seasons create indoor air quality events that last weeks. Sealed low-VOC homes with active ventilation and mold-resistant assemblies protect health during smoke events.
Dry-air and altitude
High-altitude dry air stresses building assemblies differently than humid climates. Vapor-permeable wall systems that buffer humidity — instead of trap or expel it — perform better across seasons.
What Climate Zone 5B-7B (varies with elevation) Means for Colorado Homes
Colorado's cold-dry to alpine climates present a different healthy home challenge: dry indoor air, wildfire smoke season, high radon levels statewide, and long heating seasons at altitude. Humidity buffering and indoor air quality management matter as much as thermal performance.
Local code requirements vary by jurisdiction in Colorado. We confirm the governing code and any local amendments with your building department before design.

Home Health Score
A free screening that scores your home across indoor air quality, moisture and mold risk, building materials, and ventilation — so you know where to look first.
Healthy Home Assessment
A professional walkthrough of materials, moisture conditions, and ventilation, delivered as a prioritized action plan. Screening and guidance — not a medical or diagnostic service.

Actual thermal performance varies by formulation, density, moisture content, installation method, and complete wall assembly. Final whole-wall thermal performance depends on the complete assembly, including material density, framing, finishes, thermal bridging, moisture conditions, and installation.
