Ann Barber, Founder of 8air

Environmental Engineer, Certified Building Biology Advocate, Indoor Air Quality Specialist

Ann is an Environmental Engineer with over 12 years of experience in environmental consulting, specializing in assessing and improving indoor air quality in homes, commercial settings, and schools. Her passion for creating clean, healthy indoor environments stems not only from her professional expertise but also from her personal journey to build a safer home for her family.

After extensively testing her own home with various monitors and kits, Ann discovered there was no simple, comprehensive solution for homeowners to test and understand their indoor air quality. This led to the creation of 8air—a complete, easy-to-use indoor air quality test kit that measures eight key environmental indicators and delivers a clear picture of your indoor air including actionable recommendations.

Ann believes everyone deserves peace of mind about the air they breathe at home. Through 8air, she is making professional-level testing accessible to all, empowering people to take control of their indoor environment and protect their health.
