An online introduction to Building Biology with Tomas Gäertner, an architect, certified Building Biologist IBN and founding Director of the Building Biology Association (the UK Partner of the German Institute for Building Biology IBN).
Building Biology is the holistic study of the interrelationships between humans and their man-made environment; the science of creating healthy, life enhancing buildings. The Institute of Building Biology and Sustainability was founded in Germany in 1983 and from this the Building Biology Standard was developed.
The Building Biology Standard is all about the environment created within completed buildings; giving an overview of the physical, chemical and biological hazards that buildings may create. Designed around 25 building biology principles and based on scientifically proven testing methods, the standard defines measurable criteria that allow us to test whether the environment within our buildings is healthy for the end users.
