Certification, with context
Certified stays.
16 stays carry a recognised certification. Each record names the standard and the evidence behind it.
The seal alone does not tell you which rooms were checked, which pathways were measured, or whether every criterion is met.
The same evidence rules apply to every record.
Disclosure, in plain terms
Six stays hold HGCS Certified, Human Garage’s own certification.
Human Garage visited four of them at no cost, in exchange for filming and content collaboration. A referral agreement may earn it a 15% commission on bookings it refers. Two are paying clients.
Neither arrangement changes what a record says or how evidence is scored. Holding another recognised certification does not establish a relationship with us.
Within each status group, listings are alphabetical.
These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. Listings are free, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
What an HGCS certification records
An HGCS certification records a founder visit: the date, and the pathways Human Garage saw in person. No instrument readings were taken on these visits.
A room visit is different from an instrument reading. A measurement needs a result, a unit, a location, a date and a method. Without those five you cannot tell what it covers.
We read against the Building Biology testing methods. Where a reading or a scope is missing, we say so. A visit cannot fill that gap.
How visits are paid for
Four of the certified stays paid nothing for the visit. It was given free, in exchange for filming and content collaboration. Human Garage may earn a 15% referral commission on bookings it refers.
Neither buys a score, a position, or the removal of anything.
The proof is the changelog. Scores on this site have gone down in public, including for properties we work with. The number follows the evidence, never the relationship.
For properties
The free first step is claiming your listing and answering its open questions with evidence: specifications, supplier names, test results. We cite them with the date and the source, exactly as we do everything else.
The deeper step is an on-site assessment, with a defined scope and findings a traveller can read. Observations and instrument measurements are recorded separately.
If you are building a place people leave feeling different, the conversation is worth having before the assessment is.
Bring the building you have, and what you are trying to give the people who sleep in it. We will tell you plainly whether an assessment would find anything worth publishing yet. Book a call with Certified Spaces.
If the answer is not yet, or if the building you care about is your own home, the same eight pathways are taught as a course. The Restorative Home is what an assessment looks for, written so you can apply it without us in the room.
Compare what each stay offers, how it was checked and what still needs confirming. Assessment labels describe the review, not an overall quality rating.
