ERTH360 was the product of more than five years of intensive research into the links between human health and built environments. Using the principles of Building Biology as the foundation, we developed a full-fledged philosophy for better building — solutions encompassing building improvements related to air quality, water, lighting, and sound.
Our first solution is ERTH360 Wellness which tackles one of the most critical areas impacting our health and well-being: the air we breathe. Future solutions will be developed on top of this solution to help our homes withstand more severe weather and make use of better, more sustainable materials. These are homes that are functionally enhanced and aesthetically elevated.
In 2020, we partnered with Empire Homes (“Empire”) to design and build our first concept home, the Empire x ERTH360 Discovery Home. This is the first in a series of collaborations between Empire and ERTH360, which you can tour in person, and features over 50 improvements to the standard new home. We continue to test new products, technologies, construction processes, and smart home systems.
Andrew Guido has followed his passions most of his adult life which have included fitness, food, and now wellness real estate. He brings a multidisciplinary approach to homebuilding, with a diversified business career spanning over 30 years that includes leadership and operating positions in the food, consulting, and real estate industries.
Andrew is a Certified Building Biologist and in 2019 became one of the first graduates of the newly created program by the Building Biology Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, focused on the science of healthy new construction. In fact, his instructors were trained directly by the institute founder, Helmut Ziehe. In 2024, he was named to the advisory committee for GO AQS (Global Open Air Quality Standards), an international group working to establish the first universal clean indoor air index.
When he is not busy working, Andrew can be found baking organic artisanal sourdough breads.

The "360" perspective looks both inside and outside your home. It ensures your indoor environment is as healthy and void of contaminants and pathogens as possible, and reduces carbon emitted outdoors that is contributing to climate change.
ERTH360 is committed to staying on the cutting edge of green building. ERTH360 represents innovation, pushing boundaries, and setting new benchmarks for home standards and solutions.
ERTH360 is committed to performance, ensuring that your home not only meets but exceeds expectations in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and wellness.
ERTH360 is committed to integrating technology and intelligent design into every aspect of your home, making it not just eco-friendly but also technologically innovative.
Where practical, our solution emphasizes the use of natural materials for a more sustainable and healthier living space.
We believe it’s everyone’s right to live in a healthier home that reduces exposure to harmful toxins, optimizes natural and artificial light, has clean drinking water, and pleasant acoustics.
We believe in building practices that respect mother earth, use as much renewable energy as is practical, sources sustainably harvested and locally sourced building materials, minimizes construction waste, prioritizes resilient design, and reduces environmental impacts.
We believe in including entry-level improvements focused on the essentials, in addition to more comprehensive solutions so that everyone has the opportunity to select healthier home options. We believe these should be modestly priced so that the greatest number of homebuyers can afford to live in a healthier and more sustainable home.
Note: Some ERTH360 features are standard but others are upgrades.
Your living environment plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. At ERTH360, we believe home buyers should have the opportunity to purchase a new home designed with their well-being in mind, and homebuilders who have embraced that philosophy have a competitive edge . Here are some of the key advantages of ERTH360 solutions:
Building codes are primarily written to establish a minimum standard for energy use, durability, fire safety, and structural integrity. Health factors like indoor air quality, beneficial lighting, pleasant acoustics, resilience, and more are not party of these standards. Homes that include the ERTH360 solutions not only exceed building code but include features that improve well-being.
These homes come with enhanced air filtration systems that remove dust, pet dander, smoke, mould, and some bacteria and viruses as small as 0.3 microns.
The upsized ERV provides greater moisture control, helping maintain 35–55% relative humidity. Humidity below 35% can dry out eyes, skin, and throat. Humidity above 55% can lead to mould and pests. 1
Every ERTH360 Wellness home is engineered to a recognized standard, not just marketed as one. With third-party air distribution verification and design aligned to ASHRAE Standard 241, what's promised is what's been built.
With ERTH360 Wellness as your foundational package, future solutions can be layered on for even greater indoor environmental quality — improvements that wouldn't be practical to add after your home is built, because they're integrated right into the design from day one, not bolted on afterward.
