EMFIS® started with certification for new buildings, whether residential, or commercial, i.e. offices, schools, agricultural, etc. 

The design and structural changes required to obtain the highest EMFIS® rating are easier and cheaper to implement when building from the ground up.

On top of health and wellbeing benefits, having a brand EMFIS® certified property adds to the value, in terms of desirability, sustainability, accessibility, and futureproofing.

The EMFIS® certification works both on full shielding and partial shielding. Some dwellings, like a train station hall or hotel lobby, require wireless hotspots, and optimum cell phone reception. Whereas other dwellings, such as bedrooms, or children's playrooms, may require thorough EMF shielding. 

The EMFIS® partial shielding design allows for EMF-free areas, like “quiet rooms”. In a residential build, these can be a bedroom, playroom, or a study room, which can operate solely on wired communication. In commercial buildings, the EMFIS® partial shielding allows for dedicated EMF-free hotel bedrooms. And in offices, it could be distraction-free brainstorming rooms, quiet focus rooms or resting spaces.

Based on a solid foundation of medical research that delves into the link between the structures where we spend the majority of our time and the health and wellness of the occupants, the EMFIS® Certification provides assurance to building owners and users.
