BUILDING BIOLOGY

is a science of understanding the connectedness and interaction

of human life within itself (body mind spirit) and the living environment and therefore it

studies the impact of buildings and building materials on the health of people.

BUILDING BIOLOGY

embraces a wide area of culture, medicine, chemistry, sociology,

ecology and physics, reinvents architecture as an art and emphasises responsibility

for nature and human development

Building Biology is not too expensive,

but includes the real costs up front,

which in conventional building methods

are passed on to the general public,

the next generation

and the environment.

Consideration of harmonic measures, proportions and shapes

Natural conditions of light, lighting and color

Without human-made electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation exposure

Building materials with low radioactivity levels

Human-oriented noise and vibration protection

With a pleasant or neutral smell and without outgassing toxins
