George has recently co-authored the book, Breathing Walls, a scientific study and hands-on guide to healthy building practices. He is a strong advocate for using Faswall block as well as other alternative materials, coming from a Baubiologie perspective. The importance of creating “breathable” (vapor permeable) walls that prohibit mold and fungal growth is a valuable contribution to the shifting views on how to create healthy indoor environments.
