- A wide range of building materials may contain asbestos, particularly where insulation or heat and fire resistance are essential to safe construction.
- Unfinished and uninsulated basements have a high potential for mold growth and other contamination problems, but can be healthy with proper planning.

- Insulating Concrete Forms or ICFs are popular in green building projects because of their thermal performance, durability, non-outgassing materials, and other reasons.
- Thermographic inspection measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still cameras. These tools see infrared light (light that is in the heat spectrum) to detect temperature variations of the building's "skin", showing warmer areas in lighter colors and cooler areas in darker colors.
- A material that inhibits the flow of heat.
- These indispensable tools help guard against infection and chemical exposure.
- A form of unfaced insulation.
- Building construction using materials such as concrete, tile and glass blocks, stone, brick and brick veneer.
