About

At H3, the first thing we consider is you, the occupant. Happiness and quality of life are directly correlated to health and comfort. Our goal is to help you create your dream.

H3 was developed by Bill Hayward. After living in a home that was detrimental to the health of his family, he became dedicated to seeking solutions that could transform the way we build homes. This new methodology is focused on occupant health and comfort. Our staff regularly consults with architects, engineers and industry professionals to provide technical support and field assistance in both design and installation phases. Systems include: Envelope solutions, HRV/ERV to efficiently optimize indoor air quality, radiant conditioning and dynamic glazing.

Every great recipe starts with the right ingredients

Our products transform the indoor experience by optimizing personal comfort within the home but also help to address elements such as moisture management, air sealing, humidity control, and ventilation that can make the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy home. A truly healthy home creates an environment that is literally healthy for the home as well as the occupants. Long term durability is a product of a stable and optimized environment.

How important is a healthy home?

Way back in 1989, a special legislative committee on indoor air pollution in Massachusetts found indoor air pollution accounts for up to 50 percent of all illnesses. Today, the EPA considers indoor air quality among the top five risks to public health, noting that Americans typically spend about 90% of their time indoors where the environment can be six times more polluted than outside.
