About Us

Building Performance Solutions is Southwest Florida’s leading independent testing and diagnostics company for mold, unhealthy air, and home performance issues. We are building scientists with over 30 years of experience who get to the heart of issues like poor indoor air quality, high humidity, moisture intrusion, mold, and HVAC failure. Our data-driven approach helps families create homes that are more comfortable, safe, and most importantly: healthy.

Our job is to get to the bottom of your home’s problems and find the root causes that other contractors have missed.

Our diagnostic tests compile raw data about your home’s performance and health, which we use to create in-depth reports based on measurements, not opinions. Our reports give your family actionable insights and provide contractors clear directions on how to eliminate the problem.

Anthony Lenard, Founder & Lead Assessor

Anthony Lenard is a Florida native with over 30 years of direct field experience in the HVAC and indoor air quality industries. He is licensed as both an AC contractor and mold inspector, giving him the unique ability to inspect your HVAC system equipment, something other mold inspectors are not legally allowed to do.

Additionally, he sits on the President’s Council of the National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI), and is a member of trade associations like the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the National Comfort Institute (NCI).

Kailey Harris, Operations Manager

Kailey is a third-generation Floridian who grew up in the Sarasota area, surrounded by the construction industry from the early days of her childhood through now. She developed an early appreciation for how homes and buildings work, and a genuine interest in the health of the spaces people live in.

 

After deciding to pursue that interest full time, Kailey joined Building Performance Solutions, working directly alongside Anthony as his assistant in the field. Working on mold inspections in the field every day gave her hands on experience with sampling, assessments, and the science behind indoor air quality, and her skills grew quickly with the combination of Anthony’s mentorship and a genuine interest in the Indoor Air Quality, Mold Assessment, and Building Science arenas.

 

Today, Kailey leads operations at BPS. She is often the first person that clients speak with, and she manages scheduling, communication, and makes sure that every client is supported from the first call through their final report. A lifelong lover of science, Kailey finds genuine purpose in work that combines scientific problem solving with helping families and businesses breathe easier. She plans to pursue her Certified Mold Assessor (CMA) credential in the near future.

Your Health Comes First: Our Approach

Building Performance Solutions specializes in helping families with health concerns create healthier, safer homes. Many clients come to us with similar situations: they may have chronic respiratory illnesses, a history of mold illnesses, or a child who’s always sick. Often, they feel like they’ve run out of options because neither doctors or contractors have been able to fix the problem. But we have a long history of finding answers where others couldn’t.

We’ve worked with families dealing with a wide range of medical conditions that are worsened by exposure to poor indoor air quality or mold, including upper respiratory problems, chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), and PANS/PANDAS.

Our team is also trained on advanced remediation protocols for medically sensitive occupants. We have deep empathy for these situations and always treat our customers with respect and privacy.  

Overall, bad air quality affects everyone, even those without serious medical illnesses. The research behind the negative effects of mold exposure is overwhelming, so we do everything in our power to make our customers’ homes as healthy and safe as possible.
