What is building biology? 

Bau-Biologie®, a term coined in Germany, is a word used to describe a movement promoting the use of healthy building principles as a means to improve living and work spaces and the health of people who occupy them. Bau-Biologie® literally means, "Building Biology™."
 

 A Building Biologist
  •     Shares a vision of a sustainable future where humanity can live in harmony with each other and the Earth, not just a seemingly ideal past;
  •     Uses nature as a guide to inspire living buildings, not just smart ones;
  •     Strives for creative innovation including aesthetic principles, not just green ones;
  •     Cares about the well-being of neighbors, communities, and the environment as a whole, not just individual occupants;
  •     Calls for a total approach to a healthy living environment, not just nontoxic building materials;
  •     Aspires to become the foundation of everyday building activities, not just a luxury for a few;
  •     Includes all relevant costs up front, not passing them on to future generations and the environment.
