For builders who sell healthy, comfortable, high-performance homes.
The build is done. Is it working?
AQM is your early warning after handover: a weekly report on how the homes you’ve built are actually working. Catch problems while they’re small, and prove performance to the people who call it home.

You can't see it. It could be costing you.
Is the basement humidity safe?
Weekly report Sample Watch The basement has been damp all week.
Humidity sat near 68% on six of seven days, and nothing in the house is drying that space. Next step: a dehumidifier. The next report shows whether it's working.
Left all summer, that's a mold claim with your name on it. Caught in week one, it's a dehumidifier.
Is the ventilation set right for the people living there?
Weekly report Sample Action The bedroom isn't getting enough fresh air at night.
CO₂ averaged 1,200 ppm overnight on four of seven nights; the rest of the house was fine. Most likely the ventilation boost is off or the filter is due. Homeowner checks those first. If it doesn't clear in two weeks, check the bedroom airflow.
Nobody calls about this one. They just sleep badly in the house you built. The fix is a setting, not a truck roll.
Do your clients know the house is working?
Weekly report Sample Healthy The basement stayed dry all week.
Humidity held near 51%. Nothing to do this week.
This one goes to your client, from you. Quiet weeks in writing are where referrals start.
Is outdoor smoke getting inside?
Weekly report Sample Watch Outdoor smoke reached the living area on Thursday afternoon.
Indoor PM2.5 rose with the outdoor air, which peaked near 90 µg/m³, and cleared by morning. Tip for the homeowner: keep windows closed, leave the ERV on its normal setting, and run a HEPA air cleaner in the rooms you use most.
We read the outdoor air too, from Google's air quality data, so you know when the problem is the air outside, not the house. And the homeowner gets a simple recommendation to keep the air inside healthy.
Now you can see it, across every home you've built.
When something comes up, you know before anyone calls. When the house is working at its best, you have it verified. Either way, you want to know.
How it works
-
We read the home.
Air, radon and electricity, against how the house was built and who lives in it.
-
You get a weekly report.
What changed, why, and what to do about it.
-
Each finding comes with a fix.
Fix it while it's small. A setting, a filter, a dehumidifier. The homeowner first; your sub when it takes one.
-
The next report shows it worked.
You see it. So does the homeowner, from you.
Every week. Problems get caught small, or the healthy home is verified. Either way, the proof builds.
Founded by a HERS rater and Phius verifier. Fifteen years. Thousands of homes.
Too many were built right and still didn’t feel right: a stuffy bedroom, a damp basement, despite being built to modern standards. AQM is the building-science answer: homes that stay healthy and comfortable, and prove it.

The smart home promise should be about the relationship between a building and the people in it — health, comfort, durability and efficiency, not gadgets and convenience. That’s what we’re building.
