At the cutting edge of mould testing research
HouseTest and research
At HouseTest it is our mission to collaborate with universities and research organizations to participate in non-profit research programmes within indoor climate and health.
HouseTets’s goals are:
To generate knowledge about the connection between the indoor climate and the health of inhabitants, enabling development of solutions that promote a heathy indoor climate.
To develop further the technology behind HouseTest’s DNA-analyses and to provide ever more precise assessment and counselling based on the results of the analyses
