Building Biology- What is it and how can it help?
Building Biology is an interdisciplinary life science integrating the holistic synergies and their interactions between all living things and their natural and built environments. It connects the study between buildings and the environment they are built in and their impact upon the health and well-being of those who occupy them.
Reducing exposure to contaminants should be part of any healthy living.
Using evidence based information and testing, Building Environmental Assessment provides you with the understanding on how to create and manage healthier indoor spaces, enhance healthy occupants and support our planet’s ecology on a global scale.
- Indoor air pollution is one of the top 5 environmental risks to public health.1
- People spend 90% or more of their time indoors.2
- Concentrations of many pollutants indoors far exceed those found outdoors.3
- Numerous new chemicals are registered for use in consumer products per day.4
- Many technology advances have yet to be tested for their effect on human health.5
- Occupants can improve the air quality in their buildings, often with relatively simple measures, which should provide health benefit.6
- Reducing exposure to contaminants should be part of any healthy living!7
